As a parliamentary correspondent, I'm sometimes asked: "David, what do MPs do all day now that many day-to-day decisions are taken in Cardiff Bay not Westminster?" Of course, MPs do still find time to debate issues such as nuclear power, the economy and foreign affairs. Many of them were so busy last week that they could not find the time to discuss proposed reforms to their expenses regime....

Fair play to Darren Millar raising this important point with regards the social problems facing North Wales and cheap accommodation. The same applies to Llandudno and the problems of hotels being used as permanent residences for many people fancying a new start in North Wales. Where is Betty Williams or Gareth Jones though?

First thing that I thought was, not that old chestnut, just as the people were beginning to get over some of the most shocking examples of greed we have ever seen, he rakes the coals and made me think what a greedy load of Bastards most of them were! However as a reader of Guto's blog and also...
