Building the house anew on Conservative foundations
As the Welsh Conservatives begin their conference in Llandudno, party leader Nick Bourne sets out the case why his is the only party that can rebuild the Welsh economy and govern properly in the interests of Wales
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 [...]
Plaid’s path out of poverty
Another General Election, and Wales is still being treated like an afterthought by Westminster parties. What it needs are economic policies particularly tailored to this country. This is how Plaid Cymru proposes guiding us out of recession
Nick Clegg: Hundreds of thousands of people should pay no income tax
Nick Clegg MP, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats, speaks to the party faithful in Swansea today – and writes exclusively for WalesHome.org in our 500th article
We can tackle social justice better than Labour
The left believes that only it can deliver social justice. So what would the Conservatives do with a scheme like Communities First?
Enoch Powell was right
The Conservative Party has a peculiar tradition in appointing MPs from outside Wales to deal with Welsh Affairs at Westminster. Should they do so again in 2010, they will be ignoring the lessons of history
Marr not on drugs
So, Andrew Marr declined to press David Cameron on allegations that the Conservative Leader used cocaine in the past. Cue much complaining about double standards from Labour supporters still annoyed at Marr’s now infamous line of questioning to the Prime Minister last week. The decision to ask Brown about his alleged use of anti-depressants was [...]
Go back to your constituencies and prepare for opposition
Labour’s last conference as a party of government should feel like a wake. Instead, many of the party’s most loyal supporters are using it to discuss seriously the opportunities that come from defeat
Name the date
READING through the Welsh blogosphere today, I’m surprised how few people are actually posting on the “extension on the extension” (as an old Welsh beer ad once said). Of course, establishment bloggers like Betsan have analysed, but that’s what she’s paid to do. But what of the “amateur” blogger? Barely a peep, and that surprises [...]
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?
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
When the Welsh Labour Conference met in Swansea in April, First Minister Rhodri Morgan’s speech lacked something. One delegate filled in the gap for me: “There was no clear exit plan.” And when Rhodri spoke to his party in Brighton today, the same was true. He basically announced an announcement that is forthcoming. Once more [...]
Waiting for Rhodo
Wondering what Rhodri Morgan is going to tell the Labour Party this afternoon but couldn’t afford the travel to Brighton and the conference pass? Never fear. In between the reruns, BBC Parliament is this afternoon screening the Labour Conference, live from Brighton. If it’s a choice between hearing what our First Minister has to say [...]
