Rhodri Morgan has told BBC Wales that the Welsh Assembly Government “sees no need for new nuclear build in Wales”. Given that the WAG has no input into large-scale electricity generation, which is not a devolved issue, one might have thought that Mr Morgan would feel constrained to keep his counsel, as he did over the Iraq war, if only out of consideration to his Labour colleague, Albert Owen,...

... we face in the years to come”. Mr Jones’s dramatic turnabout will, I am sure, please the local MP, Albert Owen, who is staunchly pro-nuclear and has put his name to Mr Jones’s nomination papers.

... from the majority of Welsh MPs as the 'tidy' candidate' with an all-Wales appeal. Anglesey's Albert Owen and I were there from the North West and South East and Nick Ainger from the South West and Mark Tami from the North East. All compass points filled. I am treading softly.
