Eluned Morgan focuses on party’s ‘distinctive identity’ as it faces twin threat of Plaid Cymru and Reform UK

The leader of Welsh Labour, Eluned Morgan, has said her party is a patriotic protector of her country as she tries to fend off the twin threats of Plaid Cymru from the left and Reform UK from the right.

Launching Welsh Labour’s Senedd election campaign, the first minister said: “Welsh Labour will always be proud to be patriots and to stand up for our country. I’ve always been a patriot. It is absolutely central to my core political beliefs.”
