In my strategy for the Wardman Wire I try to find niches where no one else is writing. Recently I have covered the phenomenon of Roundups breeding like rabbits filling that particular set of niches.

I think I’ve spotted an empty niche, and there will be a column starting on Thursdays to try and fill it.

So?

So we are introducing another roundup to fill this gap - and going further. I think it is a genuine first for a blog. On Thursdays the Wardman Wire will be carrying a report from as many Parliaments as possible that affect us.

The idea is that for each of the Holyrood Parliament, Cardiff Assembly, Westminster Parliament, Brussels/Strasburg European Parliament, and Stormont Assembly, there will be a report of happenings during in the week - to be published each Thursday. We have chosen Thursday to be at the point when most of the business is done, but early enough to give time for responses.

Who?

Westminster: Westmonster last BONGed on the 21st December 2007, so we are borrowing the missing noise along with Sadie Smith who has agreed to be our Westminster columnist.

Cardiff: Pippa Wagstaffe of One Wales Government will be contributing a Senedd report.

Holyrood: Will Patterson, who writes the J Arthur MacNumpty blog will be reporting on events in the Scottish Parliament.

I am still putting arrangements in place in Brussels and Belfast, so watch this space.

When?

Probably from early in March.
