Felicity

And it's Felicity in the Cardiff newsroom.

Well, it's not dominating doorstep conversations from what I hear, Adam.

I mean, we've talked previously, haven't we, about how Labour here is labouring under this burden of double incumbency.

They're trying to defend a 27-year record in government at a Welsh level.

And also Keir Starmer is very unpopular at a UK level.

And he is also representing the Labour Party.

So, you know, he's a bit of a ball and chain around the ankle as well.

What one Labour source said, quite interestingly actually, a few days ago, was that Donald Trump is the name that they're finding getting brought up spontaneously the most.

Keir Starmer is getting mentioned.

A lot of people who mention him don't particularly like him.

But this source was saying he was getting a little bit of credit, albeit maybe begrudgingly, for the way he's handled Donald Trump and the Iran war situation.

But the latest wave of criticism over the Peter Mandelson affair and the vetting situation seems to have wiped out that credit that he was previously getting, that kind of Iran bump, if you like.

So it certainly hasn't done Labour any good yet.

here, although it doesn't seem to be dominating the conversation.

Yes, that's right.

So Lib Dem social media at the end of last week showed that Ed Davey, the UK Lib Dem leader, had come to Cardiff with the lead candidates for those two constituencies there to do a little bit of a visit, you know, and all that sort of thing, as often happens during an election campaign.

The Welsh Lib Dem leader, Jane Dodds, was not there.

And when asked about it, she said, oh, she had other commitments and the Ed Davey visit had been sort of a last minute thing.

But there isn't a great deal of love lost between the two of them.

And when Jane Dodds was pressed on, you know, how their relationship was, she said, and I quote, it's a private matter, which is possibly not the thing to say to a journalist because journalists always want to know what the private matters are, of course.
