The Conservatives in Wales have been accused of "hypocrisy" after one of its Senedd members flew to Ukraine. Darren Millar is helping distribute bibles.
Darren Millar works as a chief executive for an evangelical Christian organisation as well as his job as an Member of the Senedd. In addition to his near £70,000 a year serving the people of Clwyd West, Mr Millar also works up to 20 hours a week for the Pocket Testament League. This group appears to be driven to promote their version of Christianity around the UK. Their website reads: "Only 6% of UK adults consider themselves practicing Christians. Together we’re on a mission to change this statistic, one person at a time." In March 2022 a WalesOnline investigation found that Mr Millar was likely receiving £8,000 a year for this role.
Mr Millar posted a blog on the Pocket Testament League website on June 28 where he wrote: "I am writing to you this week from Ukraine, a nation at war. Our partners here have been busy distributing 150,000 Gospels of John to people across the country. Pastors tell me that in spite of the conflict churches here are growing and people are hungry for God’s Word."
