Hear, and be dragons

The pound-shop special advisers blaming Labour's by-election defeat in Caerphilly on Welsh Labour should be out of a job by Monday.

- 

Let's get one thing straight - this wasn't a Welsh problem. It was a Westminster problem.

And those who pretend otherwise are fooling no one.

Leader Eluned Morgan and Welsh Labour aren't the villains here. They're the grownups.

Eluned has held her party together with humour, grit and calm authority.

She understands her voters because she listens to them. Westminster could learn from that.

The buck stops in Number 10. The solution sits on your shoulders, Prime Minister.

That's what Labour's new deputy leader should be telling Keir Starmer first thing tomorrow.

I've stopped sending private notes to the Prime Minister because he never replies. I'm not even sure his team pass them on.
