THIS should have been the headline in all the newspapers in their reporting of the outcome of the Welsh elections. Instead, most of our rather lazy and London-centric media chose to report how Welsh Labour “hung on,” “failed to obtain a majority” or managed to “hold back a Tory onslaught.”
So let me put the record straight. It was a resounding and spectacular victory for Welsh Labour: our best result since the beginning of devolution.
At the start of the election campaign it was predicted we would suffer our worst ever results, possibly going as low as 22 seats. Nationalists and Tories gloated and predicted a Labour armageddon.
