Meet Greg. He's the man who could decide the fate of thousands of jobs on Anglesey and Wales's energy supply. Greg (Clark) is the shadow Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. Within months, if the polls are right, he will be in charge of Britain's energy policy (well, most of Britain, and most energy policy anyway). For all the talk of fast-tracking nuclear power planning decisions, by...

It wouldn't be a party conference without questions being asked about the defence training academy proposed for St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan. Around 5,000 jobs are due to be created by the project to centralise training at one base in the largest private finance initative seen. Unless of course an incoming Conservative Government pulls the plug on it. So, David Cameron, you're the PM. What would...

I've been much involved in my 'Elderly Care' work over the last few days, so only now catching up on what's been happened at the Lib Dem Conference in Bournemouth. The only consistent theme seems to have been a full-blooded attack on the Conservative Party, and David Cameron in particular. " Who's the nasty party now?" is a question that occurs to me. It wouldn't be so worthy of comment if...

His chums in the Welsh Lib Dems may or may not be thrilled to learn that Dr Cable would scrap the defence training review contract, estimated to be worth £13bn, a project that would see a defence training academcy set up...
