Via Peter Black comes this story of trouble for Welsh Assembly candidate Angela Burns:

Former Welsh Conservative chairman Sir Eric Howells says he would support an unofficial Tory candidate in May’s assembly election. He says members from outside have taken over the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire party, and he and others would back an unnamed rival candidate.

You can read the rest of the report on the BBC’s site.

Well, post-election, all I can say to Eric is that to come from third in opinion polls and then go on to win the seat, she has made a commendable achievement, and was obviously a good candidate.
