Possibly nothing serves more to underline an apparent sparsity of Welsh news than a Western Mail published on a summer Saturday, i.e. during the close-season for sport and politics.
It’s a pity therefore that Martin Shipton, in having previously urged London journalists to get out more, goes on to demonstrates his own cloistered perspective in respect of political blogs – especially those known for taking the piss out of a distinctly lacklustre shadow cabinet.
Shipton’s stooge source in advancing the view that Peter Hain’s intermittent frontbench performance makes him unfit material for shadow Welsh Sec is Jonathan Edwards. However, the Carmarthen MP comes over as less conclusive as to whether the Westminster sinecure is actually sustainable in a post-devolutionary Wales. Or is it just a case of being more comfortable clinging to the somewhat battered premise that you have to attack Labour (or at least one of its faded icons) in order to promote Plaid.
Who knows – and when all said and done - who really cares?
