'I was found abandoned in a telephone box as a newborn baby'

"Apparently, I was found in a phone box in a carrier bag," said Rhys Goode plainly, as he described how he was found, abandoned, as a newborn baby. The Nant-y-moel man said it was a group of teenage boys who found him in a North Cornelly phone box in Bridgend. The boys then flagged down a lorry driver, who promptly called the police to notify them of Rhys, now 34.

After that, he was taken into care and later adopted by the "most amazing people" he now calls his parents. "That was that", as Rhys put it. He has since gone on to work in Westminster and the European Parliament - bumping into figures like Marine Le Pen and having a stand-off with Nigel Farage.
