Huey and the News
Huw Lewis has a campaign website at long last and it is really rather good. Looking through I found at least one sentence that might cause some comment and some real highlights in the mythbuster section.
We are told that Huw lives in Merthyr Tydfil with his wife Lynne Neagle (Assembly Member for Torfaen) and their two children James (7) and Sam (1). So that is the home in Penarth dealt with then.
In the mythbuster section he tackles head on some of the charges that have been levied against him. He is a lifelong devolutionist, who cut his political teeth organising for a “Yes” vote in Scotland while an Edinburgh University student in the late 1980’s. Huw's opposition to the coalition is widely exaggerated and he believes that the One Wales agreement should continue.
Huw is also a supporter of the Welsh Language, regularly attends the National Eisteddfod with his family and is a Welsh learner. He also believes that he can win back West Wales for Labour. Finally, he deals with the myth that he once had a chart hit with the single “The Power of Love”
- he never did. That was Huey Lewis.
*For the record, Huw stopped finding the Huey Lewis and the News gags funny about nine years ago, and always preferred this track anyway."

"Huw's opposition to the coalition is widely exaggerated and he believes that the One Wales agreement should continue."
Which will have of course have all the relevance of the proverbial cat flap in an elephant house should he win and Plaid Cymru refuse to work with him. As could very easily happen.
Do you by any chance know if he has any plans for that eventuality?

I was taken to a Huey Lewis and the News gig once, it was not my thing at all - long, dull and same-y.

Devolution for Scotland does not make a devolutionist; didn't Neil Kinnock say that it was alright for the Scots but not for the Welsh?
