Any sentence prefaced with “To be honest” is definitely a lie. In my experience anyway.

Was HaywardHain something always there in the dreams of “Peter Hain of the Young Liberals,” or is it an outgrowth of some more recent – and terminal – metastasis?

Hain can do whatever he likes in Wales and no-one will challenge him. The same goes for the AMs whose expenses are published tomorrow.

The reason for this, is the whole of Wales on the take. Remove the £21 billion from the Barnett Formula, raised mainly through English taxes and enterprise, and Priority I monies from Europe, and Lottery Grants, and Wales would sink without a trace. Raising cash this way means most of the the big money is filtered through the Assembly or one of the agencies and everbody tries to keep in with the creeps down in the bay.

If you want to know just how bad things are here, read Professor Dylan Jones who is Director of Research and Innovation at the University of Wales. He’s one of the few people in Welsh public life not afraid to speak out. I’m not sure how he still earns a living in Wales.

That nice Mr Abrahams, he’s around all right cos the Party HQ hasn’t paid back the dosh yet.

I wouldn’t leave if someone still owed me nearly a million quid.

Mind you, at the last count I heard, the party was in the red to the tune of about £18m so he might be waiting a long time.

Err.. could we look at the Lord Philip Gould Lobbying consultancy matter again?… him being in the position of aide to Teflon Tone and all that… he was supposed to be Architect of the New Labour Project wasn’t he?

Anybody remember the name of his most prestigious client?

Begins with a big T I think.
Oh yes, and Hazel seems to have backed them from time to time.

The lack of a second ballot did for the miners. Strange really, because if they had had one, they would have said yes.
