What's going on in the to-ings and fro-ings at Crickhowell House as the parties thrash it out over a deal to form a new government? AMs don't know. Support staff don't know. Jenny Randerson certainly doesn't know, judging by her performance on Good Morning Wales today. And I haven't got a clue - although that didn't stop me popping up on Red Dragon earlier to say "I haven't got a clue" in a multitude of different ways. So here's something unrelated for a bit of light relief.
The Daily Mail's ever-excellent Ephraim Hardcastle column today runs the following:
THE Welsh have falsely tried to claim Stalin as their most famous holidaymaker, according to Simon Sebag Montefiore's new life of the dictator, Young Stalin. Tourist officials list Stalin as 'among individuals who have spent quality time in Wales' along with the serial-killer Fred West. They insist Stalin visted the country in 1907. 'It is a charming example of Welsh national pride,' Montefiore tells me. 'Stalin was never in Wales, because he had a bank robbery to arrange in Russia at the time he was supposed to be there.'
Gosh. I don't remember Welsh tourist officials ever using Stalin to attract visitors. And nor do they. "I can't find anyone in Visit Wales who is aware of Stalin's alleged holiday in Wales," says Andy Philips of Visit Wales when I phone. "And they've no idea who the 'tourist officials' might be". Well, it might very well be this website, listing the "top 5 scary individuals who have spent time in Wales"...but it's hardly official. Good work, Mr Hardcastle!
