If you've followed what I've written in the past you'll have picked up that I have a lot of time for Jeremy Corbyn and quite a lot of his politics, and little time for the negative campaigning of all parties but particularly Welsh Labour. Nor have I any time for most of the "names" within Welsh Labour. Come to think of it - I've no time for Welsh Labour fullstop.

Something that has really turned me off this particular election is the way Welsh Labour has sought to distance itself from the only decent thing within Labour at the moment (i.e. Corbynism) hedging its bets so that if he underperforms they can help do him in. If he does well they'll share in the plaudits. I don't see Corbyn mentioned in the Wales election literature. It's as if they are afraid to acknowledge his contribution yet it's his style of doing politics and his manifesto that has seen the resurgence of the Labour Party in the polls. It's got sod all to do with Carwyn and crew, that's for sure.

No-one exemplifies this hedging of bets better than our own most recent Neath MP, Ms Christina Rees. A woman that has twisted more times than Chubby Checker. A woman who has risen close to the top - but who would be fooled into believing she has done so on her ability and/or loyalty to Corbyn? He just ran out of options and even a turncoat is better than no coat at all when the weather is against you. She's the most senior Welsh Labour appointment that was in Westminster. But have you seen her up-front being on TV, being interviewed, making a speech or being grilled? You must be joking. Even the Labour Party have more sense than to give her airtime. And if you've ever seen Ms Rees being interviewed (lots of examples on the Bay TV Studios, Swansea - Facebook pages, where she is more in her comfort zone with Gaina Morgan) I think you'll understand why.

Anyway, have a look at these, which portray a little of how these Labour geographical "outposts" like Scottish Labour and Welsh Labour send out messages to try and convince their electorate to go with Labour.

Scotland

It's a Westminster election, and in Wales they keep on with the mantra that it's only Tories or Labour. But in Scotland they choose to pick a fight with the SNP. Here the message is that a vote for the Tories will let the SNP in. Here it's the SNP that are the problem. They are the bogeymen (and women). And they are blatantly appealing to the Unionist vote. But the SNP can't "win" Westminster. They can only influence what will happen there.

Wales

Here the tactics turn full circle. Here the emphasis is that the Tories are the main enemy. The nationalist Plaid Cymru Party are however denigrated at every turn by remarks such as this, made by Christina Rees following the publication of Plaid Cymru's election manifesto:

The message in Wales is that a vote for Plaid will let the Tories in.

The message in Scotland is that a vote for the Tories will let the SNP in.

The Scottish people are not dealt the same scaremongering tactics used on those in Wales, about Tories "trampling over" them. The SNP, unlike Plaid, are not accused of doing the Tories' work for them.

There's an ugly, distasteful Welsh Labour campaign being conducted here in Wales and if you've received or seen the letters and recent card sent out to households by "Carwyn the Cult" you'll know exactly where I'm coming from.

I've hung on to the letter and card that have been posted here. IF Welsh Labour knock my door - which will be a first, incidentally - I shall ensure they have chance to explain why they are conducting such despicable and scaremongering tactics. FFS - Maggie Thatcher was in power over 30 years' ago. You just cannot keep using her government as an excuse for every single ill in Wales. Let's ALL take some responsibility for where we are today. Especially Welsh Labour -  for a change.
