Dr John Marek of the John Marek Party has resigned as chairman of the Assembly’s House Committee this afternoon, although will be staying on as Deputy Presiding Officer.
This is the culmination of his long running dispute with Lord President King Dafydd Elis-Thomas over the way the Assembly will be run next year when the Government of Wales Act kicks in...anyway, the House Committee’s work of overseeing the Assembly’s day-to-day running will be handed to a new Assembly Commission next May...Dr Marek had accused Lord President King of forcing out Assembly Clerk Paul Silk...yada yada yada....you've stopped reading this, haven't you?
Anyway, the expert analysis: Lord President King Dafydd Elis-Thomas has won, and this matters not a jot to anybody outside the immediate vicinity of the Senedd.
Remember where you read it last.
