“As Deputy Regeneration Minister, Leighton Andrews is within Ieuan Wyn Jones’ Department of Economy and Transport."

This is half the truth...he also "sits" within Brian Gibbons' Department of Social Justice and Local Government.

The story on Leighton Andrews did not come from Plaid. I have a very clear idea as to who it did come from, however. It is nonsense, and another way to try and undermine the Government- or at least Plaid in Government...

Another odd story planted by Plaid spin merchants in today's Western Mail regarding the fact that the three Plaid ministers have been on the media more than their Labour counterparts. Plaid are trying to use this information to spin that they are somehow distinct from Labour in order to attract votes on May 1st. It probably also shows that Plaid are getting worried that they will make very little progress in May. Given the low poll ratings for Labour and the disillusionment of many traditional Labour voters Plaid should normally be confidnt of making major gains in a number of valley areas where they have previously controlled the council.If they fail to do this then this will see the splits increase as they realise that for most Labour members the coalition is a marriage of expediency not principle. Talk to any ordinary Labour member and you wil soon find that it is a minority who believe that a referndum before 2011 is a major issue.

Indeed not! Where I live, Plaid ditched their long-standing support of the minority Tory council administration about 4 months or so before they leapt into bed with Labour in the Senedd.

Let there be no doubt, Labour is presently Plaid's partner of choice.

Let's see how that goes down in north Wales (and Dinas Powys)!
