I appear to have inadvertently ruffled feathers in the marbled halls of Cathays Park. A few days ago, I posted what I thought was a fairly inoccuous, light-hearted piece about Members’ warm-weather wear at Westminster, which I prefaced with the words: “Gloriously warm day in London, the sort that makes you wish you were outside enjoying the sun in St James’s Park, rather than indoors debating a particularly tedious draft Order in Council.” The Order in question rejoiced in the title of the...
