Clear red water
Rhodri Morgan has made much of the distinctive agenda that he is allegedly carving out for the Wales Labour Party. Famously, he declared that there was "clear red water" between Wales and New Labour. However, as Jenny Randerson pointed out yesterday, that red water has turned into a flood. At least that is what I think she was saying:
Jenny Randerson: We sympathise with the workers of St. Athan, but they do not want tea and sympathy; they want jobs. This is an interesting statement because it is a clear example of the red water that exists between the Assembly Government and the Westminster Government - this tide of water has now engulfed the workforce of St. Athan.
Thank goodness it is not yellow water!
