I can’t say that, during my brief sojourn in the Welsh Assembly, I ever took much to Huw Lewis. He always seemed a bit of a humourless, cold fish and never came over as the sort of person who’d be good company over a pint on a winter’s evening.
Huw has thrown his hat in the ring for the Welsh Labour leadership. I had previously thought he’d be out in the cold and that the contest would be between Edwina Hart and Carwyn Jones.
However, Huw has impressed me tremendously with this quote in today’s Daily Post:
“The Deeside Hub is living proof that regional identities do not start and stop at borders.
“We should not assume news of goings on in Crickhowell would be more interesting to people in Connah’s Quay than news of Chester.”
In other words, Huw has demonstrated that he has a reasonable understanding of what it is to be a North Walian.
If I were Labour, I would back him.
