Apologies for the light blogging. Other duties getting in the way but given Plaid conferences are always awash with bloggers - even celebrity bloggers are nothing new here - then I doubt you'll be missing out.

An interesting motion put down by Plaid's Westminster MPs has won support from conference. It called for a maxiumum wage that "would ensure a greater balance between the amount paid to high earners and that paid to ordinary staff". No doubt the detail on how exactly you make that work and the role of a High Pay Commission that's backed by Plaid MPs too, will be coming soon.

The party leader may be wondering by now whether he's paid enough. Given it's big speech day Ieuan Wyn Jones had an early start, his round of radio interviews taking him from Radio 4's Today to Radio 5's Nikki Campbell (sorry: that should read Nicky Campbell, though I bet he'd find it hard going spelling my name ...) and on to Llandudno FM. Sadly for the people of Llandudno - or should that be for Mr Jones - it turns out that he was off mic during his final interview, which means Llandudno FM fans will have heard the presenter telling him she'd been practising pronouncing his name and they'll have heard all the questions she posed ... but not the answers.

I did make out one: "Rhodri Morgan will be standing down soon as First Minister. You're the Deputy First Minister so do you think you should take over?"

"Yes, I'd love to! But it doesn't quite work like that ..."
