Extra powers for Cardiff – thanks to the Tories…

Expect major changes to the National Assembly when the Tories enter No 10.

George Osborne, shadow chancellor, promised in blunt irreversible sentences to work solidly with the Cardiff body when David Cameron takes over in Downing Street.

St.David's Day parade at the Welsh AssemblyAnd much more. If necessary, Cardiff will get extra  powers.

Which means anti-devolution characters such as David Davies, MP for Monmouth, and his fellow backwoodsmen, Stephen Crabb, Presili, and shadow minister for Wales David Jones can go and get lost.

Not, I am sure, that Mr Jones needs such an invitation – when an AM he was a conscientious loyalist to whatever the party line was, as expressed, usually, by devolutionist Nick Bourne.

Mr Osborne’s comments were expressed in a press conference at the Tories’ Cardiff conference after he had delivered his keynote speech on the economy.

The first issue he dealt with, when speaking to the press, was co-operation between the two cities.  He offered not an iota of hope for those who want to do away with the Assembly.

The institutions both in Cardiff and Edinburgh are here to say. And to work. And work well.  “We now understand devolution, and Wales must make its own decisions,” Mr Osborne told the press. He added that “we want to work” with both Cardiff and Edinburgh.

Plenty of experts have been saying for some time that the biggest problem for Cardiff and Britain is the unsustainable state of the Labour “settlement”.

Mr Osborne said, ” I am open-minded on looking at powers, on whether they should be changed or added to.”

Afterwards, Assembly leader Nick Bourne listed Mr Osborne as one of those favouring development of the Assembly.

The Cardiff hierarchy were pleased with what he said. They were scathing about the anti-devolution clique hidden around David Davies, who did not seem to be present.

Mr Osborne shows why the Tory Party is such a success historically. It accepts change, and works to make things work.

This blog was penned a short time ago. Since then I have been working on getting my systems working once more. Several more blogs will be sent on what happened at the Tory conference.

Each was written immediately after the events it refers to.  Thus, David Jones makes another appearance later. But this blog was not altered to take account of later happenings.

    This statement by Mr Osborne the the institutions both in Cardiff and Edinburgh are here to say and that the future Conservative London Government would want want to work” with both Cardiff and Edinburgh is to be welcomed.

    This is the sort of statement many would have liked someone in the Labour government to have made and meant it.

    What do we get? The – Aneurin Glyndwr website, named after the 6th century Welsh poet and Glyndwr one of Wales’ most skillful politicians. This site must be the most negative site on the Internet. It shows that some politicians in the Labour party have no positive policies left.

    With the European elections coming up one would have thought that any website sponsored by a labour MEP would contain some reference how the two Labour MEP’s had worked for the good of Wales.
    On the other hand they might not have anything to report.
