In the midst of early morning solitude at Roath Park, Jo Stevens, the Secretary of State for Wales, reflects on Labour's precarious position ahead of upcoming elections. While attending various engagements, including meetings in Port Talbot and Llandudno, Stevens acknowledges polling indicating a decline in Labour's vote share in Wales, potentially succumbing to rival parties. Her journey from law to politics illustrates her commitment to effecting change directly, emphasizing the critical nature of upcoming elections as Labour seeks to maintain its long-standing power since devolution in 1999.
"Being a lawyer was good training for parliament, because as an MP, you do a lot of casework. I loved my job. You can change the law as a lawyer, but it doesn't happen very often."
"Every poll is a snapshot of a moment in time - but we do have a challenge on our hands," Stevens said.
