Outside the bubble ?

Tonight (Thursday) I was joined by First Minister Rhodri Morgan for a quick "blitz" in a strong Labour ward in Bangor, North Wales. In some 200 doors three people raised Tony Blair with us.

Two people were pretty upset at Blair's treatment by Labour MPs, and one thought that on balance it was time to go. Otherwise people seemed pleased to see us.

We also met the committee talking about the future funding needs of their healthy living centre. That was their reality tonight - not events in London.

I know the leadersip is important, but this was an interesting perspective on the events of recent days.
