Monday musings

John Prescott seems to be having a hard time of it since announcing that he once suffered from bulimia. Whatever one thinks about him, raising awareness of this illness is always something which I support as I am involved in campaigning with regards to eating disorders. Its still a huge stigma to suffer/ to have suffered from bulimia or anorexia, therefore I'm sure that John Prescott didn't take the decision to talk about his experience lightly.

In other news, I note Huw Lewis's anger at Plaid AMs raising awareness of the divergence of policy or activity between Labour in Wales and Labour in Westminster. We only raise such issues if they are factual- such as Westminsters determination to close our post offices, privatise the DWP, and tax the poor. Noticing how riled Huw Lewis is over such comments only confirms to me his own insecurity with his own party. News on the doorstep about Labour's lack of support come May 1st is obviously not going down well! Whether this is another stab at the leadership of the Labour party I'm not quite sure, but I wish that Huw Lewis and others would just get on with it, and declare if they are interested in standing or not.
