Who runs Welsh Labour?

We can all agree that today has not been Rhodri Morgan’s finest.

The intervention yet again by Peter Hain must be a source of great annoyance to Plaid and Labour members who are signed up to a referendum before 2011. If he wants to put Labour out of office in Wales then the Secretary of State is going about it the right way.

The question as to who is in charge in Welsh Labour is an important one. In the chamber earlier today I said that in the leadership for the Welsh Labour party that it looks as though Peter Hain has won, and that either Carwyn, Huw or Edwina will end up as his deputy.

    I think Labour will only support primary legislative powers for the Assembly if they themselves are not in power at Westminster.

    Peter Hain himself has said if those “nasty” Tories come to power at Westminster then he would certainly favour full lawmaking powers in Cardiff. So its pretty obvious what this is all about, the self-interest of Labour, proper constitutional arrangements come a poor second.
