LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer visited Mold on Saturday to see how local businesses are coping amid the pandemic.

It comes after he visited the Airbus plant in Broughton last month amid potential job cuts at the site.

And in his latest trip to Flintshire, Mr Starmer visited independent businesses in Mold.

The Leader:

Delyn MS Hannah Blythyn showed him around the town.

She said on social media: "Great welcome for @Keir_Starmer in Mold today.

"Good to have the chance to show him how both businesses and the community have adapted in the past months and the real difference @WelshLabour Government support has made."

Mr Starmer tweeted: "Great visiting Mold, in Delyn, today seeing firsthand the work of the @WelshLabour government have done in supporting the community and businesses in such a difficult time."

During his visit he called in on the Olive Tree Deli, and later praised it for its "fabulous cheese".
