Eluned Morgan confirmed Labour leader in Wales

Responding to the Welsh Labour leadership coronation of Baroness Eluned Morgan MS, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:

“I firstly congratulate Eluned Morgan on becoming the first female leader of Welsh Labour, and if supported by the Senedd, Wales' first ever female First Minister.

“The Baroness has picked up the crown at the coronation, with Prince Charming as her deputy. Eluned Morgan has presided over the worst Welsh NHS waiting lists on record, so the question must be asked, is this really the best that Labour can do?

“If her lack of delivery in Wales' NHS is replicated across the Welsh economy and education system then Wales is going to be a lot worse off in the future.

“The 2026 Senedd election can't come soon enough to give Wales the change it desperately needs to unlock the hope and opportunity that will build a new and stronger Wales.”
