TV debates just won’t be the same without Natalie Leanne…
Leanne Wood has been ousted as Plaid Cymru leader following a challenge from party colleagues Rhun ap Iorwerth and Adam Price. Leanne stood in the subsequent leadership election but was knocked out in the first round of voting with only 1286 votes. Natalie’s Leanne’s contributions to TV debates will be greatly missed…
Adam Price then beat Rhun ap Iorwerth by 3481 to 1961 in the second round to become the new leader of the Welsh Nationalists. Llongyfarchiadau…

Thursday night’s mass-debate will see Miliband in the centre, with Cameron on the far right.
The full line up will be: Natalie Bennett, Nick Clegg, Nigel Farage, Ed Miliband, Leanne Wood, Nicola Sturgeon, David Cameron.
While the PM has got his wish of being far from Farage and Ed, the Labour leader has lucked out in terms of aesthetics.
“Clowns to the left of him” says a Tory source.
Each of the party leaders have told Netmums which kids’ TV character they think they are most like (other similarly named websites for mothers are available). The likenesses are uncanny…
