Plaid Minister Under Pressure to Resign Over Smoking Gaffe

News comes from Wales that the gaffe prone Plaid Culture Minister Rhodri Glyn Thomas is likely to lose his job this evening after claims that he smoked a cigar in a Cardiff pub. It was Thomas who recently presented a prize to a Welsh author at a literary awards ceremony only then to realise he had read out the wrong name.

Plaid's reputation relies in part on how they perform in the coalition. It was always dangerous for them to join with Labour and this sort of thing does them no favours. The Welsh media - no friends of Plaid - is in full cry tonight.
