99 red balloons

So to the free lap-top, free lightbulb and free toothbrush you can now add a free, crisp, 拢50.00 bond for your child. And a visit from a Mobile Mamma, which sounds a bit like a service Dad might be interested in.

There was far more to Labour's manifesto, a lot of detail - as one E-mailer put it, the sound of a shopping list for deals on policy agreements in the next Assembly perhaps?

The invited audience made it today, despite a Labour stunt failing to take off. Or maybe that should be taking off too early. Wayne David MP, along with a willing helper had planned to let off a stream of red balloons that would guide us all to New Tredegar.

They let go a bit early. The 99 red balloons had long gone by, even before we made it to Merthyr.

Tongiht Plaid's Director or Elections is calling on the party's 'friends' not to let up the fight too early. An Email tonight from 'Adam' - the man's on first name terms with his troops - calls on Plaid's supporters to cough up more time and money.

His battlecry? "The Labour vote is in meltdown. There are seats available for Plaid to win". Catchy.

How close arePlaid to their St David's Day 拢100,000 target by the way? The man who knows is having a quiet pint and will get back to me.
