"There's a new generation coming to town and I'm part of that new generation. There are people who have been in the Senedd for a number of years and they've made a fantastic contribution, but the world is moving on. What we have is people like Mark Drakeford and Jane Hutt who've made a massive contribution to the country, but they are leaving."
"a 'brand new team' would set a 'very different agenda' in Cardiff Bay. Plaid Cymru, Reform UK and the Conservatives each say that they represent change next year as they seek to lead the Welsh government for the very first time. The idea that Labour can offer a vision of change to voters is likely to be seized on by those opposition parties, who criticise Labour's record and say the party has had more than enough time to improve areas like the Welsh NHS."
"Fourteen of the current 29 Labour Members of Senedd (MSs) are standing down in May, by which time the party will have been in power in Wales for 27 years. Labour has not been helped this year by a series of public disagreements between its own politicians at Welsh and UK level over funding and further devolution of power. The first minister spoke to BBC Wales on Monday for an end-of-year interview at the Welsh government's headquarters at Cathays Park in Cardiff."
Labour has governed Wales for 27 years and faces a difficult Senedd election as 14 of its 29 MSs are standing down. First Minister Eluned Morgan portrays herself as part of a new generation and promises a brand new team to set a very different agenda in Cardiff Bay. Opposition parties Plaid Cymru, Reform UK and the Conservatives present themselves as change alternatives and criticise Labour's record on the NHS and education. Internal disagreements between Welsh and UK Labour over funding and devolution have complicated Labour's position ahead of the campaign.
