The Cardiff Bay- Westminster split on Devolution was there for all to see yesterday and proves there is still work to be done by those who want a referendum by 2011, for instance the normally keen to promote himself Peter Hain was camera shy yesterday and Welsh Tory MP’ s just talked about the Queen speech. It’s no surprise we had no response from Welsh Secretary Peter Hain to the All Wales...

David Cornock reports that after being embarrassed and shown up as a lonely and out of touch political figure Peter Hain has decided to stick his head in the sand rather than face the facts on a referendum. Best all round really. At the same time neither Cheryl Gillan nor David Jones could be bothered to face the cameras today. It is also quiet on Cambria Politicos blog after they have been threatened...

This was interesting- I was browsing some of the categories and blogs for the Homeschool Blog Awards and came across this UK blog You Did What ? (nominated in the geography category). I was quite startled to read this : Grace and I are going into Oxford for an Adult Support Services Resources Fair. Strictly speaking, this is for teens in transition (aged 16-18) with learning difficulties, not autism,...

He he. Well, why not ? Just as homosexuals complain that the institution of marriage is discriminatory because they are forbidden to enter the divinely-ordained institution, so heterosexuals may complain that civil partnership is discriminatory because married couples are forbidden to enter the man-made institution on the grounds that they already have the divinely-ordained institution of marriage....

…… Cheryl Gillan (Shadow Secretary of State for Wales) said … As a new nuclear power station at Wylfa would provide much-needed quality jobs in an area devastated by the closure of Anglesey Aluminium, I am pleased to endorse the Secretary of State's welcome for the project. However, what discussions has he had with the First Minister in the Assembly, who has contradicted him and...

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...

Bit of a headache for Welsh political hacks this one. We're now going to have to think of another question to ask David Cameron's people in Wales now he is confirming that a Conservative government would not block a request from the Welsh Assembly to hold a referendum on its powers.* When Cheryl Gillan told us at the Tory conference in Manchester "we will let the people decide" she really...

So David Cameron is in North Wales today and will say that we can have a referendum on further transfer of powers if AM’s make the request to a Conservative Government – well let’s face he would be stupid to say anything else, he’s already learnt the cost of cancelling a referendum once this week and the other parties would have had a field day if he put off answering the question...

Cheryl Gillan is Shadow Secretary of State for Wales. Rarely do we Welsh politicos have any Welsh specific polling to pore over. So this week’s YouGov poll on Wales was bound to set political and journalistic tongues wagging. As well...

THE general election campaign should be based on “mature politics” rather than mudslinging, Shadow Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan said last night.

The Red Zone: about to disappear? Apologies for my hen's teeth posting but managing the workload of a full time MA and trying to earn a crust with a bit of teaching can occasionally be somewhat time-consuming - and knackering to boot. It's been particularly hectic this week for some reason - and I have a tricky little test coming up too so there's no respite for a while. Enough of that. I want to talk...

Cheryl Gillan MP is in town on Thursday and possibly Friday, I wonder if will spend any time in the area with Guto here in the Aberconwy Constituency or goes with David Jones around Clwyd West? Cheryl is the Conservative choice for the Question Time panel, Rt Hon Jacqui Smith MP for Labour, Sunday Sport columnist Lembit Opik MP for the Liberals, and ARSEmbly member Leanne Wood for Plaid, would not...

Just when I wonder where Nick Bourne has gone he pops up with this stupidity . At a time when public confidence is at an all time low in politics Cheryl Gillan’s assistant says the Tories will oppose any proposals to establish an independent panel to look at Assembly Members pay. I think it is fair to say that the Assembly has been decisive and correct in its reaction to the expenses row. Certainly...
