Will it be ice picks next?
This morning's Western Mail has its second successive story about the internal workings of Plaid Cymru suggesting that all is not well with Leanne Wood's brave new world.
Yesterday it was the failure of Bethan Jenkins AM to attend a couple of meetings at her taxpayer-funded trip to the British-Irish Council. Today it is a complaint about remarks made by the former Presiding Officer, Dafydd Elis Thomas at a private dinner in Brussels, in which he is alleged to have expressed concern at his new leader's decision to boycott a meeting with the Queen.
It is claimed that another Plaid Cymru AM has lodged an official complaint and that this has been discussed twice at Plaid Cymru group meetings. Presumably this is a prelude to Plaid Cymru instituting a Ministry of Truth where all inconvenient and uncomfortable facts are removed from history and offenders sent to room 101?
Suppressing freedom of speech and dissent is no way for a democratic party to behave. Leanne Wood needs to get a grip before it is too late and her party has disintegrated beneath her in a mess of infighting and recriminations.

Its pretty obvious that someone on the Western Mail is gunning for Leanne Wood. She must be devastated...

"Leanne Wood needs to get a grip before it is too late and her party has disintegrated beneath her in a mess of infighting and recriminations."
At least it's not facing annihilation in the polls for having joined the Tories.
I don't see any infighting or hear any recriminations in the party. As for Baron Elis-Thomas and Mrs Windsor, the least said the better.

There seems to plenty of infighting and recrimination within Plaid Cymru from where I am sitting. And the puzzling thing is that despite not working with the Tories to provide stable government, Plaid is still slipping back in the polls that matter - the ones were people actualy vote.
