Peter Hain is back at the Welsh Office. Is it because of his brilliance? When Gordon sacked him last time it was for incompetence.
Expensegate
Glenys Kinnock stamps on the face of the world
The Anglesey Fishwife’s carbon footprint is greater than almost all other 785 members of the European Parliament. It’s precisely what we suspected, and very much in tune with what Cambriapolitico has been saying about Glenys Kinnock’s consistent and long-term abuse of her position as one of the elected European representatives for Wales.
Welsh Assembly
Wales’s Westminster freeloaders
If ever there was a need to get rid of an ‘extra, expensive and useless tier of government’ (the old chestnut once much loved by critics of the National Assembly) it is now. And the tier that should be in our sights is that which consists of Wales’s 40 Members of Parliament and some 48 Members of the House of Lords.
Welsh Labour
Lunar troughing
The insinuation of the Daily Telegraph that I have bought and retained goods using my Parliamentary allowance to furnish my home in Wales is unfounded. Before making purchases I have always contacted the Department of Finance and Administration to confirm that I was acting within the rules.
Economy
Political X Factor
In the run up to the European and General Elections, Cambria Politico will be publishing occasional articles and opinion pieces about the reasons to vote FOR a particular political party. A great deal has been written about the negative ‘attack dog’ role of political blogs and, without giving up on our campaigns against corruption and loss of liberty, we want to provide a more balanced positive commentary.
Opinion
Oliver Cromwell’s Prescience
Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter’d your conscience for bribes?
Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Economy
EU Funds converging into the public sector
For many years the West Wales Business Initiative (WWBI) has expressed concerns about the economic policies of the Welsh Assembly, the size of the Public Sector in Wales and the consequent imbalance of the Welsh economy.
We have argued that the Assembly Government has channeled UK and EC resource into a rapidly growing Public Sector in Wales to the detriment of the private sector.
