Back in his constituency on Friday, Stephen Crabb, MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire, kicked off the morning with a visit to the local Royal Mail Delivery Office in Haverfordwest.

He was able to test out one of their new electric vehicles with manager, Mark Owen.

“I was very impressed to hear about their switch-over to electric vans as they look to reduce their carbon footprint across the country,” he commented.

“Royal Mail has such iconic red trucks and vans and its fantastic to see them leading the way forward in reducing their environmental impact.

“It’s always a pleasure to chat to the local team and I appreciate the warm welcome.”

Meanwhile when he visited our office he flatly refused to sit behind the wheel of a battered filthy disgusting empty crisp packet and pop can filled example of what is a more a typical royal mail van.

Allegedy he was heard to utter "you can get f****d if you think I'm getting in that stinking pile of shite"

Only joking that didn't actually happen, he's never been to my office.

How many of these do we actually have??
It’s hardly “leading the way” is it? They’ve been around for years and we’ve bought a token handful for photo ops.
