Lack of Bottle
I was dismayed at what happened in the final budget debate. I am still at a loss to understand how the deal brokered between Plaid and Labour comes anywhere near the sort of deal that we were talking about as opposition leaders, extra money for schools and universities well in excess of what was achieved.
In the budget debate Jenny Randerson suggested the reason for the breakdown of relations was all the talk (mainly Labour) of a Tory led coalition taking over the Assembly. This would undoubtedly have got to some of the Plaid group and perhaps they beat a path to their leader’s door. Jenny has a point!
It was obvious to me what Peter Hain was up to. I. wonder if he will now be trying to frighten his voters with the prospect of a Plaid-Labour coalition. I somehow doubt it.
