| Description: | Well, I’ve finally succumbed. After years of resisting the idea of a blog I’ve finally been persuaded by some of my more techno-savvy (i.e. younger) staff that it might be useful to blog and not just to write newspaper articles every week. You’ll find my views on a number of subjects on this blog, as well as longer articles, but I know that I’ve got some way to go to catch up with those bloggers extraordinaire like Peter Black and Glyn Davies. None of the blog entries will be ghost written, so you can rest assured that everything will come from my fair hand. |

Leadership
I announced my intention to stand for the leadership of the Labour Group in the Assembly on Monday. From now until the end of the campaign, all blogging will be at www.carwyn4labour.com (English) and www.carwyndroslafur.com (Welsh). You can find carwyn4labour and carwyndroslafur on Facebook, Youtube and Twitter, and there is a flickr account for photographs as well.

Rhodri Morgan
Rhodri made it clear yesterday that he intends to stand down in December. As someone who supported Rhodri when he stood for the leadership in 1999, I have felt privileged to have served under him in Government. As I said yesterday, Rhodri commands a vast amount of respect from people across the length and breadth Wales, irrespective of their political persuasion. It was Rhodri who gave me my first job both as a Minister and then in Cabinet. Over the years, I have learnt from and been greatly inspired by his leadership.

Conference
Rhodri Morgan of course deservedly stole all the headlines with his final speech to a UK Labour conference. Rhodri's wit and intelligence was given a standing ovation by conference, led by the Prime Minister and his Cabinet colleagues.There was a great fringe meeting last night on the theme 'Winning for Wales in the global economy'. It was good to hear from the new prospective Assembly Candidate for Cardiff South and Penarth - and immediate past President of the Wales TUC - Vaughan Gething, and the newly-selected Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Vale of Glamorga

Those who caused the recession must pay their share
All the talk over the last few days has been of the cuts that will be required in the future to ensure stable public finances in the aftermath of the recession. Gordon Brown yesterday signalled that there would be difficult decisions to come. The Tories on the other hand said that they would like to go further with cuts, suggesting to me that they are using the smokescreen of recession to disguise far ranging cuts that are not necessary but that they would like to make anyway. It’s in their blood.You would swear though that the recession was the fault of public sector workers if you read some of the papers. Yet again we hear the ludicrous clichés of public sector workers (lik

At what Price?
It was fascinating to hear of Adam Price's attack on the Tories in his speech at Plaid's Conference in Llandudno.Warning his party of the "dangers" for Wales of a Tory general election victory. The "regressive right" he described them. A party who will declare "war on the poor".Welsh Labour have been talking about the perils of unreconstructed Conservatism, ever since Cameron was elected Tory Leader.The people of Wales cannot risk taking a 'punt' on the vacuous rhetoric that masks the true intent of his policy direction.But Labour activists know that Adam's's speech is a u-turn which reminds us how unreliable is Plaid Cymru's Carmarthen MP. I wonder somet
