The winner will be a brother, not a sister
At least Labour is having a proper leadership election this time. What a shame nobody has noticed
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
One last video
JUST when you thought it was safe to go back on YouTube, another Carwyn video has been produced. Eight weeks in eight minutes. A nicely edited reminder of recent weeks and something to watch as we wait on news of the new Cabinet (of which more later).
Moving forward
The logo won’t change, but other things will OUR formal coverage of the Labour leadership contest draws to a close today – and not a moment too soon probably! Moving forward, here’s a reminder on timelines which you might find useful as you roadmap from Rhodri to his successor. Betsan also has an useful guide, [...]
“Carwyn’s emphatic win”
THE quote above isn’t from Team Carwyn. It comes from his defeated rival, Huw Lewis. And there can be little doubt about its veracity. The Bridgend AM managed not only to win at the first round (in other words he got more than 50% of the vote), he also won in each of the three [...]
Live blog: Welsh Labour Leadership result
That’s it for this live blog, folks. Hope you found it useful. The overall shares were Carwyn 52%, Edwina 29%, Huw 19%. More detail to follow on other posts.

Live blogging Labour
If you are around at 5.30 this evening, please pay us a visit. Daran will be live blogging the results of the Labour leadership contest from the Wales Millennium Centre. It should be fun. If you’re us, anyway.
A Question of Leadership
Today’s the day. The race is over and from today it’s all about leadership. So do Carwyn, Edwina and Huw have what it takes to runs things from the front? A Labour party member assesses the trio
How nice, how polite, how very forgettable
HOW nice at last that the finishing post is almost overrun. Yes, the campaign’s been long, and I can’t pretend that I’ve been all that caught up in it, owing mainly to its lengths and to a major change in personal circumstances. The effect of this has been twofold – learning the ropes of a [...]
No stitch up and no stitches
THE election campaign that has lasted twice as long as some General Elections is now virtually over. Opinion on the level of sustained interest in the campaign may have varied, but I think one thing that united pretty much all of us was the belief that the campaign had run its course. As previously indicated, [...]
The fourth to go forth
SO there goes only the fourth ever times in which the Welsh Labour Party has picked a leadership figure. I cannot say “elected” as it is dubious that any of the previous three occasions truly qualify for such a term. The first saw Ron Davies, enraged at Rhodri Morgan’s decision to even dare stand against [...]
