There was, said David Cameron at the Tory Party Conference last month, plenty of time in which to consider as the party's parliamentary candidate in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Three weeks turned out to be plenty of time. He's been reinstated and returns to the shadow cabinet as Shadow Local Government Minister.

It will hardly be a surprise to anyone who knows him that Alun Cairns is "pleased this issue has been resolved and hope people will now judge me on my actions.

"I know I have a huge amount of work to do in the Vale of Glamorgan and look forward to working with the community to explain how Conservative policies can make a positive difference to their lives.

He also looks forward to returning to terrier duties, or as he puts it "holding the Labour-Plaid Cymru government to account for the woefully inadequate way in which it is funding councils across Wales next year."

There'll be few who won't welcome him.

So that's why 'the school inspector' was in town yesterday.

UPDATE:

Welsh Labour's 'welcome' clearly avoids attacking the man but goes instead for the party and the principle: "

"This decision shows the true face of the Conservative Party under David Cameron, which is the same old nasty party we know them to be. Cameron is incapable of taking tough decisions - as this decision proves. This novice like approach, flip flopping from one position to another is not what this country needs in these difficult times. The Tories simply can't be trusted".
