Ceredig: April 2008
http://ceredig.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 April 2008. A little ado about what, exactly? Yesterday’s Western Mail. Had a story about Chris Bryant drawing attention to an apparent inconsistency between two senior Plaid Figures. According to the story, Ieuan Wyn Jones welcomed this year's air show at Sophia Gardens, whilst two years ago, Plaid’s Chief Executive, Gwenllian Lansdown condemned a similar event at the same location as being a showcase for arms dealers. Bryant claimed that this showed a major inconsistency. Ordovicius. The pr...

Ceredig: March 2008
http://ceredig.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 March 2008. In my previous post, I referred to the statement by Ieuan Wyn Jones on the transport grant settlement. Normal Mouth. Picks up on the same issue, although dealing more with the substance of the issue than the spin. I said in my previous post that ‘green’ is a word with more than one meaning – so is ‘sustainable’. At its basest, politicians seem to interpret it as meaning nothing more than ‘whatever we can get away with’. As long as ...Links to this post. Wednesday, 19 March 2008.

Ceredig: May 2008
http://ceredig.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 28 May 2008. Yesterday’s fuel protests by truckers brought to the forefront some key dichotomies in public attitudes, and drew out some interesting political responses as well. The situation raises a number of different issues at the same time. Fifthly, we all tell politicians that we care about the environment, and want to do more to protect it – until it starts to hurt. Then, we want someone else to pay the ‘green taxes’. Politicians know this, so while they say the...Rail transport already ...

Ted Jones: Where Next for Wales? - Adam Price MP
http://ted-jones.blogspot.com/2007/06/where-next-for-wales-adam-price-mp.html
Political boffin, keen fisherman looking forward to retirement. Tuesday, June 5, 2007. Where Next for Wales? MP has posted a blog on the current dynamics in Welsh politics. I agree with Adam, there is only two games in town. Either a Red - Green agreement which. Is acceptable to Plaid or an inevitable. Which makes comments by Carwyn. Jones over the weekend against a new Welsh language Act most difficult to understand. Carwyn. The reality is that a new language act is going to be a deal breaker. I've alwa...

Ted Jones: More Labour Strife over Red - Green deal
http://ted-jones.blogspot.com/2007/06/more-labour-strife-over-red-green-deal.html
Political boffin, keen fisherman looking forward to retirement. Wednesday, June 20, 2007. More Labour Strife over Red - Green deal. If you want an indication of how Peter Hain. Is thinking look no further than the comments attributed to one of his dogs of war, Kevin Madge of the Amman Valley. In other words, innocent Labour members who get elected to the Assembly are being turned into rabid nats. Madge of course is a senior figure in Hain's. A once rock solid Labour seat, Carmarthen. As much as it is int...

Ted Jones: Shurmer goes to the BBC
http://ted-jones.blogspot.com/2007/06/shurmer-goes-to-bbc.html
Political boffin, keen fisherman looking forward to retirement. Tuesday, June 12, 2007. Shurmer goes to the BBC. It's with deep regret that I have to write this post that Plaid will be losing the talents of Alun Shurmer to the BBC. Having worked with Alun over a number of years I know that Plaid's loss will be the undoubted gain of the BBC. Plaid's NCU will also be losing Rhodri Davies who is moving onwards to pastures new. On the bright side looks like Red - Green is back on the agenda. Labour ahve mana...

Ted Jones: Peter Hain - Billy No Mates
http://ted-jones.blogspot.com/2007/06/peter-hain-billy-no-mates.html
Political boffin, keen fisherman looking forward to retirement. Wednesday, June 13, 2007. Peter Hain - Billy No Mates. Not only has Rhodri Morgan turned his back on him, Peter Hain is today faced with a letter in the Western Mail in which half of the Labour party in Wales pledge their support for rival Harriet Harman. Peter and Harriet are both very strong cannidates and 5 of them would make very strong and good deputy leaders of the Labour Party. June 13, 2007 at 10:10 AM. June 13, 2007 at 4:24 PM.

Ted Jones: Is Gordon Brown Calling the Shots?
http://ted-jones.blogspot.com/2007/06/is-gordon-brown-calling-shots.html
Political boffin, keen fisherman looking forward to retirement. Thursday, June 14, 2007. Is Gordon Brown Calling the Shots? There’s increasing speculation that the current red – green negotiations are being driven from the very top of the Labour party. Rumour has it that Gordon Brown himself has basically told Rhodri Morgan to do anything to stop a Rainbow deal. There is little doubt that the Tories will probe at the Scottish roots of the PM in waiting as we near the General Election. Rebellion from ...
