Mumbo Jumbo Cult Claims Merthyr AM

Huw Lewis AMIt is with considerable sadness we announce that Huw Lewis AM has joined the Mumbo Jumbo Cult.

On 3rd July 2008, he announced on his blog that he has “joined the revolution”. This is a common phrase chanted by new Cult Members as they ritually affirm that they belong to their new ‘family’.

The Mumbo Jumbo Cult has swept through the Welsh political landscape claiming many other Assembly Member casualties.

Symptoms of Cult Membership include excessive use of brand names and imagery in a not-very-subtle attempt to recruit more people to the Mumbo Jumbo ’cause’.

Huw Lewis History

  • On July 18th 2007, Huw Lewis was sacked as Deputy Minister for Transport and the Economy. Two months later he published his Winning for Wales pamphlet on the future of the Labour Party in Wales.
  • Huw Lewis forewarned that in 2011, the Welsh Labour Party will face its biggest challenge.
  • He claimed in Winning for Wales (pg. 11) “the only way to successfully combat these challenges is to create a self-sufficient genuinely Welsh Labour Party which can properly shape this next exciting phase of devolution.“
  • Today, eleven months later, Huw Lewis joins the Mumbo Jumbo Cult performing a public volte-face and completely ignoring his own advice. It’s goodbye to those ideas of a “self-sufficient” and a “genuinely Welsh Labour Party”…
