Retrospectively kicking shit out the messenger remains a favoured pastime at the Assembly, even during recess. This week’s targets are Sir Roger Jones and the rest of the independent panel who recently recommended a big cutback on AMs perks.
According to Shipton of the Mail, anonymous Assembly insiders, who clearly nudged the Newspaper of Wales into making an FoI enquiry, are said to be “critical” of the £59,762.81 paid out in expenses to the four member panel over an 11 month period. Given the phrasing, it’s not too hard to work out the likely function of these insiders, i.e. writing press releases for one or two particularly bad losers who are still sulking over the loss of their second homes and subsidised mortgages. Even then, it's fairly feeble parthian shot.
But surely there are plenty of other AMs who could have come to Big Roj’s defence, had they been asked to comment. After all, his recommendations were voted through unanimously ..... weren’t they?
