Eluned Morgan, the newly appointed first minister of Wales, is already campaigning for the next Welsh parliament elections, engaging with local communities in Blackwood. As Labour prepares for the 2026 elections, concerns arise about potential challenges from both Reform UK and Plaid Cymru. Polling indicates Labour may struggle to secure a majority, leading to possible coalitions. Morgan emphasizes the importance of connecting with voters and addressing disillusionment stemming from Brexit, as well as the impact of changes to the Senedd’s voting system.
I'm constantly in election mode, said Morgan. I'm very aware we're 14 months away from an election, and I've only just taken on the role of first minister.
Polling suggests Labour is very unlikely to win a majority and one possibility is it may end up ruling with Plaid but... a union between the Tories and Reform UK could be running Wales.
