Sharpened claws at dawn



Matt Withers continues to get cattier and cattier in his weekly columns in the Wales on Sunday as this example proves:

But realistically, [Leighton] Andrews was never a serious bet for the leadership. Undoubtedly a very clever man, with an astute understanding of the media one would expect of a former head of public affairs for the BBC, Andrews affects the air of a particularly grumpy GP.

He would probably have done very well as a technocratic politician in the former East Germany but would struggle as a successor to professional man-of-the-people Rhodri Morgan, the First Minister who walks a fine line between Lech Walesa and Ken Dodd.

And that is before we read his latest musings on Lembit Öpik.
