Anyone else smell a Noo Labour rat?
You might also have noted that Cosford is in a Tory marginal constituency, where the sitting MP has a majority of 948...
There has, I gather, been quite a lot of adverse comment in the local press covering the Cosford area about the St Athan bid and the involvement of the Welsh Assembly in talking up the prospects of that consortium (along with hints about how not giving St Athan the contract would be a disaster). I daresay Mr Hain's intervention will receive some more comment.
