Will is a man with a pen. He's never without it - or a piece of paper upon which to write down an order from whoever he might meet - a turkey, or faggots, or some bones for the dog. (not sure whether today's health and safety laws allow this now). Today, Will went to Buckingham Palace to collect his 'gong' and his pen was at the ready. He knows that nothing but the best will do for Her Majesty, and...

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...

Lord only knows what he has going for him especially considering the fact that he is a Liberal Democrat MP but in recent years his ‘love’ life (or to be more precise) his ‘fake celebrity’ life has overshadowed his Political career [...]

Been away so long that it feels like starting to blog all over again. Arrived Holyhead late Sunday, after a week in Ireland. Spent four days in Cork and three in Dublin. Distance between these two cities in now a bit over 2 hours. Last time I was in the Emerald Isle for a few days, it was more like 4 hours. The investment in roads is amazing. It was my first drive through the new tunnel under Dublin...

It seems that the Liberal Democrats are relaunching Vince Cable as the Messiah of economics, with the Foresighted One himself appearing today on BBC 24 to remind us how he told us so, which follows famous Durex promoter Lembit Öpik's claim on Question Time last Thursday that everybody everywhere knows that when it comes to banking. Vince is omniscient. Here's a reminder of how Vince earned his...

Lembit Opik – (2) – Every comment he said slated the Conservatives. Even when it was about Jacqui Smith’s expenses he managed to slate Thatcher. The guy is terrified of the Conservatives, well either that or he absolutely despises them. It winds me up and no doubt winds everyone else up. Come out with your [...]

Today we finally get that remarkably rare beast - a Wales-only opinion poll. It was taken by YouGov and published in the Western Mail. Tomorrow they will be running a report on an auction of hen's teeth, on Thursday they will be issuing lists of competent social workers in Haringey and honest MEPs, while on Friday we get photographs of flying pigs. More seriously, it's very gratifying to finally get...

I think we all know that Nadine Dorries is anything but the sharpest tool in the Tory’s garden shed, much as its common knowledge that dear old Lembit Opik, despite copping off with a Cheeky Girl, is much more of a rivet than he’ll ever be a stud. Still, you’ve got to feel a little sorry [...]

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...
