The joint mission: the view from Team Lewis
THIS morning we reported on the way the three Labour leadership candidates were fighting the final phase of the campaign. Building on his comments to the Western Mail, Huw Lewis’ campaign communications manager Matt Greenough has also provided us with this insight: “Yes, the days have been very long, but hugely rewarding. Huw has a [...]
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 ballot process closes next Thursday, 26th November, and the the votes will be counted. The results [...]
Huw says more on a referendum campaign
REFLECTING further today on the content of the All Wales Convention Report, Huw Lewis made some interesting suggestions about how a future referendum should be fought: “As I have said throughout this leadership campaign – and before – I’m not running to rip up any deals and I remain committed to the terms of the [...]
Huw the co-operator
HUW LEWIS returns today to a theme he has championed throughout his political life: a co-operative agenda for Wales. With one week to go before polls close in the leadership contest close, he makes a pledge today to place a credit union in every community in Wales and massively expand and promote their work throughout [...]
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 [...]
The ideas keep coming from Huw
HUW LEWIS today returns to the economic message which has been central to his campaign when he visits a South Wales charity which provides support for the young long-term unemployed. As part of his continuing tour of Wales to see the effect of innovative techniques being used to help people back into work and will [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Neil Kinnock and Huw Lewis: a tale of two endorsements
We’ve made our admiration for John Dixon’s online analyses clear on The Hearth and in our weekly newsletter in the past. And he’s recently shown that he’s one of the few bloggers from other parties who seems to “get” the Labour leadership race. That has been underscored today by reaction to news that Huw Lewis [...]
Two hustings, and two big names
BIG DAY today in the Welsh Labour leadership race (and no, I don’t say that every day). Two major hustings events are taking place. Tonight on BBC1 Wales at 10.35, Dragon’s Eye will be broadcasting a televised debate between all three candidates and an invited audience. The bay bubble is already buzzing with rumours of [...]
A question of credibility
A FORTNIGHT tomorrow, it will all be over bar the shouting and counting. But in the meantime Welsh Labour members still have time to make their choice over who should lead them. However, campaign teams also know the last few days and the next few days are absolutely critical: this is the time when people [...]
A red letter day for Huw
Back in the day, you could drive around the Valleys all day before you passed through a non-Labour ward. Today, of the 267 councillors the five central County Boroughs of Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Torfaen just 119 represent the Labour Party. And tomorrow party members in those parts of Wales [...]
