The Shane Williams of Welsh politics
On the eve of Carwyn Jones’ biggest electoral test yet, we put the personality and performance of Wales’ First Minister under the spotlight
Why we need a Yes vote on March 3 next year
Wales’ First Minister sets out the case for why ‘Welsh Labour Says Yes’ will be crucial to winning the referendum on March 3. Here’s what he said to his party’s special conference on Saturday
The most ambitious legislative programme yet
ALL THINGS must come to an end, both good and bad, and this week the One Wales Government moved into the closing stage of its mandate with the unveiling of its legislative programme for the final year of its mandate. Well, not quite a year, really. Actually there’s really just six working months left because [...]
Carwyn Must Respect the Union
“If the Wales Labour Party can’t work with a Conservative UK government, the British state is in real trouble” argues our leading Conservative thinker
Referendum centre stage
LAST night I took part in a lively discussion on the experience of referenda jointly organised by the Bevan Foundation, Public Affairs Cymru and my company, Positif Politics. I may be biased but it was a really high quality event with some excellent perspectives and the questions were sharp and provocative. My own contribution quoted [...]
‘A distinctive body of Welsh law is emerging’
First Minister Carwyn Jones marks his 100 days in office with a speech to the One Wales, One Year to Go Conference in Cardiff this morning. In a version here, he looks back at his first century, and forward to the challenges ahead

In an exclusive interview with the Western Mail this morning he reflects on that period and, more particularly, on the challenges ahead. Today he will also be examining his first century when he speaks at a conference jointly organised by Positif Politics and [...]
One Wales, One Year to Go

Yet the next few months in Cardiff Bay promise to be just as interesting and decisive because the agreement that ended the impasse after the Assembly 2007 elections and which has held the Welsh Assembly [...]
Swansea bounce
WHEN you’ve done more political conferences that you’ve seen episodes of Friends, usually the only way you can tell them apart is by using the naming system of that programme and calling them The One with the Curry House Punch Up, The One with Ruth Madoc, or The One with the Moustache. To me, the [...]
Political retail therapy
For the new First Minister, money is tight but his political capital has never been greater. His party is united, but is not strong. Carwyn Jones must do great things for Welsh Labour, as well as for Wales
A tale of two interviews
IT was probably the biggest “political” TV interview which I had ever contrived to miss but, having been asked to review the programme for Radio Cymru this morning, I decided it was probably best to tune in. So at 10.15pm on a Sunday evening (or a little later, actually, once that ghastly skating thing had [...]
Blinks and winks
THIS business of whether 40 Assembly Members will vote next Tuesday to trigger a referendum is certainly dominating chat in the bubble. It’s all a bit surreal to anyone outside though Glyn Davies sums it up well when he reflects, “Sometimes the extreme efforts to which Assembly Members will go to create a difference of [...]
