Historians correct me if I’m wrong but I think Eluned Morgan will be the first member of the House of Lords to lead a government since…Lord Salisbury in 1902.

The way he was treated in the media and in the business was appalling.
His story needs retelling.
35 years ago today, the first former Blue Peter presenter passed away

He was just 28 when he died

Keep an eye on the House of Lords.
I’m told there are a few older Welsh peers who would like to retire but feel newer Welsh peers need to come in first.
Might we see a former Welsh First Minister put in there for the first time?

So who replaces Vaughan Gething?
His supporters are highly unlikely to support Jeremy Miles who narrowly lost in the leadership election.
What about a unity candidate?
Names mentioned are Eluned Morgan and Huw Irranca-Davies.

Sacked former Welsh Gov minister Hannah Blythyn is scheduled to give a personal speech in the Senedd later.
As I wrote last week, people around the FM expected something to challenge his leadership soon
Is this a Geoffrey Howe moment?
