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 [...]
Brown, not out?
TODAY’S Sunday Times reports that Gordon Brown is planning to stay at the helm of the Labour Party – even if it is defeated in the General Election later this year. Despite opinion poll ratings which do show some narrowing between Labour and the Conservatives, the safe money is still on a drubbing for Labour [...]
True grit

The good Prime Minister
The polls repeatedly tell us that Gordon Brown is universally unpopular. The Prime Minister is derided on a daily basis. Will the history books take a different view, particularly of his economic record?
Devolution can win – and has won
The al-Megrahi leaked letters are a non-story. However, there is much in this episode from which devolutionists can take heart
Charmed or Offended?
The Cabinet arrived in Cardiff last week amid much ballyhoo, both positive and negative. So why was there no Prime Ministerial visit to the Assembly?
He’s very clearly mad – right?
Gordon Brown is condemned as a man unfit for high office and guilty of both moral corruption and personal madness. Yet we have a duty as readers to assess the evidence that is put before us by commentators
Investment we can do without
Gordon Brown’s promised ‘investment’ in under-performing public services, while ignoring the strengths of the private sector, is as good for the country as Tory cuts
