We see that Peter Black got his underwear in knots over ‘speculation’ by the Western Mail that plans for a £1bn upgrade of the London-Swansea rail line will be derailed – although it seemed to us that the paper mainly reported what respective politicians had to say on the subject.
Being in government, as Black has observed himself on quite a few occasions, involves taking unpopular decisions and accepting that you and your party are accountable for them. Petulantly blaming Labour in every paragraph because circumstances now require ministers to decide on priorities is hardly going to help matters.

" but the facts are that initial fundraising attempts for ‘a children’s hospital for Wales’ received a very lukewarm reception outside the capital"
The only area of Wales where fundraising was "lukewarm" was Swansea.
Anyone who didn't know better would believe this alien place of Cardiff was hundreds of miles away at the opposite end of the country, not a mere 40 miles up the road.
Second City Syndrome and parochialism is a way of life in Swansea even when it concerns a hospital for terminally sick children, very sad.
... and that's exactly the kind of emotional bollocks that the charity has traded upon since inception. Since when has Noah's Ark been about providing a "hospital for terminally sick children"?
