Stories from the Senedd
The three or four days we spend in the Assembly each week are always very intense, involving back-to-back meetings and catching up on the correspondence. As a result we often miss some of the more trivial stories and gossip doing the rounds.
It is just as well therefore that we have the Matt Withers column in the Wales on Sunday to fill in the gaps, and this week he has excelled himself. Mr. Withers reports:
It is just as well therefore that we have the Matt Withers column in the Wales on Sunday to fill in the gaps, and this week he has excelled himself. Mr. Withers reports:
- there have been 16 thefts reported on the premises of the National Assembly in the past two years amounting to £14,974 worth of cash and valuables. These include two £10 notes taken from the female toilets; a raincoat snatched from Cathays Park worth £100; a personal pedometer worth £5; seven laptops, two flat-screen monitors, two PCs, two mobile phones and a briefcase. Goodness only knows what might have gone missing if we did not have our own Police Station on the premises.
- The Alyn and Deeside Assembly Member, Carl Sargeant being caught out contradicting himself. He told one reporter that a vote for Plaid was as good as voting Tory. "If the people of Wales want a Tory in charge of our schools and hospitals then they should vote for Wigley and Plaid," he said in response to the news that the former Plaid Cymru leader is staging a comeback. However, only last month he told the Daily Post: "Bring back Dafydd Wigley. He was the only one who realised that winning the support of people from outside their narrowly-focussed origins was the only way they would make any headway." Make your mind up, Carl.
- The Llanelli Labour AM, Catherine Thomas, reportedly threw an intern out of her office last week, because the aspiring politician was a Plaid Cymru supporter. Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you, Catherine.
