We hear that picky Gower Conservatives will soon have themselves a new Assembly candidate following the acrimonious (and entirely unreported) departure of Anthony Ridge-Newman.
They seem to be keeping the identity of his replacement a secret for now although rumour has it that the tough task of unseating Edwina Hart has been given to Caroline Jones, who contested Aberavon for the party at the general election. Perhaps we'll all know the name when their website is re-instated.

Suzy Davies, #1 candidate on the Tory list for South Wales West and therefore Alun Cairns's anointed heir, tweeted this on December 2:
Red Ed - Caroline Jones is coming to get you! Especially if you let Fairwood Hospital close ... Congrats Caroline, Welsh Con choice 4 Gower
She also tweeted (7 December 2010 17:29:44 via Twitter for BlackBerry®)
Abertawe Bro Morgannwg CHC has taken the health board argument and voted to close Fairwood hospital. Sad. Very sad
Yet she never went public. Why is that?
Gower's tories will live to regret dumping ANR. He was by far their best chance of making headway in what should be a winnable seat.

Caroline Jones was selected over a week ago - old news! Although she was only 3rd on the regional list - not exactly a prime candidate for a winnable seat.
What happened to ARN? Why did he have to step down?
