Carwyn Jones on Wales Home today: “I am not the candidate who was opposed to the coalition, but nor am I the candidate whom our coalition partners would prefer.” I thought it was well known that Carwyn was not against the coalition? Indeed was he not the candidate that was briefing against his own party in favour of it?

Previously, I referred to the fact that the Coalition Agreement contained three specific provisions relating to Wales. One of these concerned the drawing down of legislative powers over housing.The second provision relates to the way that Wales (and Scotland for that matter) is funded. This is a matter of some controversy here and the coalition

Last night Dragon's Eye did a piece on the second anniversary of the One Wales coalition. Half way through the third assembly I think there is little room to doubt that the coalition will last the full term.

Peter Black’s latest attempt to find political relevance for the Lib Dems is to suggest that the One Wales coalition between Labour and Plaid AM’s is unravelling because Peter Hain’s comments on Dragon’s Eye last night.

The first all-Wales opinion poll since last year’s Assembly elections suggests that support for Labour and Plaid Cymru since forming the One Wales coalition has risen, while support for the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats has gone down. Independent polling carried out for Plaid by Beaufort Research of Cardiff showed that among those saying they were certain or very likely to vote in an

Today, Sir Emyr Jones Parry presented the Report of The All Wales Convention to the First Minister of the National Assembly for Wales. Regular readers will know that I thought the establishment of this Convention to be no more than a 'device', which enabled the Labour Party to consign a coalition promise to the long grass, and provided Plaid Cymru (particularly its leader, Ieuan Wyn Jone...
