Weekend
I could not attend the Annual General Meeting this year though from many reports I received it was clearly a good one.
Jonathan Evans was guest speaker and delivered an excellent speech by all accounts. Jonathan is a good loyal friend and has been a tower of strength in supporting me in our endeavours to make the party more Welsh and in pursuing the prospect of a rainbow alliance.
Jonathan is now seeking the nomination for Westminster in Cardiff North and will clearly be a first class ambassador for Wales at Westminster. It will certainly be Wales’ loss in Europe though, where Jonathan has worked fiendishly hard within the party and across party barriers to promote Welsh interests.
The party has got back its appetite for power and is united and in good shape.
This was apparent too at the constituency lunch I attended in New Radnor on Sunday. Well done to Owen Jones and his committee for such a good turnout and such a superb meal– shame about the weather– I blame the government!
I spoke and so did Andrew Davies (the good guy not the Swansea one). Andrew is, of course, no stranger to Brecon and Radnorshire as he was a very effective candidate here in 2005.
It was very clear from speaking to people that there is much disappointment at the lack of the rainbow and people blaming the Lib Dems especially those who blocked the deal at Llandod, They bear a heavy cross.
