Getting in the way

Among the funnier comments reportedly heard at a fringe reception in a Liverpool hotel was the 'back to the fuchsia' observation made about the number of carefully shaded neckties sported by various podium personalities. Less comical was the off-stage insistence by Peter Hain that there is a deal to be done over Assembly electoral constituencies.

Why the shadow Welsh Secretary continues to bang this particular drum - when even his fellow FPTP proponents admit that a substantially different motivation was involved in the popular rejection of the Additional Vote - is something of a mystery.

What was very apparent last night was the pronounced irritation among Carwyn's cadre that media attention would be diverted away from today's /welsh Government policy announcements.
