Huw Lewis has launched a new campaign website to replace his old one. It's definitely worth a read. This blog has already pointed out that Huw's "Mythbusters" section is weak and actually ducks most of the charges against Huw, although despite being defensive it is a clever part of the site. Huw has toned down the "Mythbusters" section in his new lay-out, giving it less precedence.
Lewis has also used the new site to confirm that he no longer lives in Penarth, as has been widely alleged throughout the Welsh media. According to the new site, Huw now lives in Merthyr Tydfil, with no mention of a second home.
We aren't (for once) knocking Huw on this. It would be good to have a First Minister who lives outside of Cardiff and surrounds. A few people are saying that the leadership race has been a good thing for Welsh Labour internally.
But leadership race aside, the bigger picture is that after the next General Election, according to the Yougov poll, Merthyr is going to be the northernmost part of Wales with a Labour constituency representative.

Who says that Merthyr will be Labour? There may well be a good independent who will stand and Merthyr has been independent before. No one is impressed with the present MP who is even called Dai Basra by his fellow MPs .
He has done nothing for Merthyr and his face is not recognised in the town
Nothing is certain and even the labour supporters in Merthyr are making noises about him.
Watch the Merthyr space.
I hope he doesn't need a new washing machine when he moves, the factory closed while he was busy claiming expenses, for his second home down Penarth.
have you read the mythbusters section? from what i see there is no statement saying thathe doesn't live in penarth? jus some ramblings about the expenses system which has no relevence to the accusation that he doesn't really live in merthyr
