Robert Waller wrote

Blaenau Gwent in South Wales embraces Ebbw Vale, formerly represented by old Labour warhorses Aneurin Bevan and Michael Foot. Coalmining and steel production have given way to a variety of lighter industries, but traditional Labour loyalties continue to make this one of the safest Labour seats in the whole of the United Kingdom.
