of course the story is about his skin colour, thats basically the only interesting thing about it.

Take that away and you have Welsh labour leader replaced by another Welsh Labour leader - its going to be of very limited interest to anyone outside wales, and very few inside.

There isn't even anything particularly interesting you can say about him policy wise, he's just another bland politician.

Complain about the stranglehold of Labour on welsh politics all you like, but the fact of it is, the Conservatives have utterly failed in offering any kind of realistic opposition here in decades, it is their fault entirely - their current leader is a joke and until they start offering something that Wales wants, rather than just a Welsh mouthpiece for English policies then they will remain in the Wilderness here.
