The Late Mr Morgan
If I were Carwyn Jones, Andrew Davies or any other aspirant for the job of Labour Leader I wouldn’t be confident of the First Minister keeping his appointment with destiny and resigning as Leader of the Labour Group in 2009.
His track record is not very good. Failure to attend a service in London for injured and murdered Police Officers because he was running late, late for the Queen, and missing a flight to Hong Kong so that his programme had to be rescheduled, and I now learn that on Saturday evening he failed to attend a dinner in Cardiff for the Franco British Friendship Society where he was down as a speaker and proposer of a toast.
Apparently the guests waited for half an hour before starting the dinner and then assumed the First Minister was running characteristically late, but in fact he didn’t show up at all.
It is hard to see how his record can get any worse unless, like the Great Gatsby he starts to miss his own parties and functions!
