Rhodri: Gordon will be an outstanding PM May 18 2007
by Tomos Livingstone, Western Mail

WELSH Labour leader Rhodri Morgan last said he was confident that Gordon Brown would be “an outstanding Prime Minister for Wales”.

Mr Morgan said, “I backed Gordon Brown because he has been an outstanding Chancellor of the Exchequer, the first in history to produce both low unemployment and low inflation at the same time. “No Labour or Conservative Chancellor has ever produced that before.“In Wales he has produced both sustainable growth and lower unemployment, which is a remarkable achievement.“He has shown a strong commitment to devolution, which I have witnessed at first hand.“I’m sure that as Prime Minister, he will be a good friend to Wales, and potentially an outstanding Prime Minister for Wales.” Oh dear!!!

But what about Julie Morgan MP
Julie Morgan gushes 'Exciting times as our party elects leader'

It is not 'Exciting times' as our party doesn't get to elect a leader
Brown will be as bad as Blair and he is just as Tory as Tony. And there was a time our Julie MP was regarded as left wing now she's just a 'brown nose' lemming 'excited about the new era' which will be just as exciting as a voyage on the titanic.

Personnel Today has a story about Gordon Brown being accused of siding with big business against workers as unions gear up for a major assault on his first days when he becomes prime minister.
Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) general secretary Mark Serwotka told Personnel Today that Brown listened too much to the CBI. PCS members last week voted unanimously to ramp up their campaign against civil service job cuts, pay levels and privatisation. They also passed a motion prioritising joint strikes with other public sector unions, for which they have the support of Unison and the National Union of Teachers.

Labours Grassroots decay

Peter Hain wants the New labour Party to reconnect with grassroots supporters. He goes on to say that offering more of the same will not succeed. Too late for him to take on this role. Perhaps the grassroots that remain in Wales will 'come out' and publicise their insignificant presence.

No chance of tackling the catastrophic decline in membership and activism until the party is rid of the New Labour bullies who won't listen and their intolerance of others if they are not 'born again' of Bliarism. Unlikely that people like Rhrodri will start listening and stop trying to be all things to all people.

St Athans A Con - mega privatisation project

From SEREN 'Plaid should have had the courage of their convictions and said St Athan was a con - a privatisation that would do little for the Welsh economy and, taking a wider perspective, damage areas in England where bases were closing. Few local people will get the skilled jobs as trainers re-locate from the 16 bases being closed. Plaid is an anti-war party and a firm stance here would have had Davies backpeddling as the warmonger and liar he is.'
St Athans - is it good for Wales?
