Just when you thought it was safe to leave the office

SPOKE to soon. Harry Hill lives, alive and well in Bute St, Cardiff Bay. Here’s the latest video offerings – yes two – from Edwina Hart’s campaign team Quite an interesting endorsement here from Gower farmer Peter Davies, who attests to Edwina’s responsiveness on rural issues. The second one emphasises Edwina’s community and local links [...]

It’ll take two, baby

It’ll take two, baby

ITV WALES this evening published a poll on Wales This Week which shed light who ordinary voters and Labour voters want to see as the next Welsh Labour Leader and First Minister of Wales. Ordinary voters were asked who they wanted to see as First Minister and divided 25% to Carwyn Jones; 14% to Edwina [...]

Film 09…

AND here’s another video release from the Edwina Hart campaign. Looks like everyone’s getting all Youtube for the last week of campaigning. The theme reminds voters of Edwina’s record with the NHS in Wales based on the endorsement of prominent socialist former health worker Dr Julian Tudor Hart.

I Hart Cymru – in Welsh

THE ISSUE of whether a candidate for First Minister can or cannot speak Welsh has never been much of an issue for me. At the start of last week I failed to see why Edwina Hart was being condemned for not being able to speak the language and when I appeared on Radio Cymru’s Dau [...]

The final fight

The final fight

AN INTERESTING article in this morning’s Western Mail in which the campaign organisers of all three candidates for the Labour leadership comment on the way they are fighting this election campaign as the last week of battle begins.

The Labour candidates on the All Wales Convention Report

YOU may have read my rant this morning – and my views remain the same after attending the briefing this afternoon on the content of the All Wales Convention report. It was an interesting event, made lively but impenetrable by some of the questions posed by True Wales members. Despite considering myself a bit of [...]

Is WalesHome guilty of peddling sexist attitudes in the Labour leadership race? I don’t think so

Local economics

Local economics

AFTER the poor employment figures earlier this week, two of the Labour leadership candidates have made economic protection a key theme of their campaigns this weekend. Yesterday Edwina Hart visited the British Airways maintenance plant at Cardiff International Airport (BAMC) and promised workers that she is backing their campaign to scrap Air Passenger Duty, a [...]

The heart of Hart

The heart of Hart

EDWINA HART’s campaign for the Welsh Labour leadership has been as direct and unambiguous as the candidate herself. As we reflected when she launched her manifesto in October, “Her launch event emphasised her personal qualities and her directness of purpose”. This was also clear in her manifesto which stood out because it was never a [...]

Fully paid up members…

A CONSTANT refrain in the Labour leadership is that whoever wins will have their work cut out in building a public profile. That is borne out by the recent YouGov poll showing the overwhelming feeling of voters towards all three was one of ignorance. There is no doubt that Labour have dined out on Rhodri [...]

Health Minister talks health

Health Minister talks health

A FEW weeks ago we reported on what the Labour leadership candidates were saying about NHS Wales. We wrore then “As Health Minister, Edwina of course recommits to the content of the One Wales agreement as the core plan for health in Wales until 2011.” We can now update this following a press release put [...]

A question of balance

A question of balance

AS WALESHOME.ORG reflected back in August, the issue of gender representation in the National Assembly is becoming an increasingly significant topic. The launch of IWA Women last night has prompted a busy debate on the issue in the columns of the Western Mail as well as on the blogosphere in Wales in different posts. And [...]
