BBC Health Secretary Eluned Morgan is 'giving serious consideration' to standing to replace Vaughan Gething as Wales' first minister. Welsh Labour has confirmed it will elect Mr Gething's successor by mid-September after the first minister quit on Tuesday when three ministers and his chief legal adviser all resigned following months of interparty disputes.
In a dramatic move, Jeremy Miles, who lost out to Mr Gething in spring's leadership contest, has backed Ms Morgan, saying she was 'best placed to take the country and party forward.' Ms Morgan said she hoped to confirm her bid in 'the next few hours or days'. She said she had 'a considerable amount of support... from the different sections of the Labour party,' adding 'you don't need to belong to any particular faction' to support her.
