'Red Welsh Way' falters after Labour's poll slump
First Minister and Labour leader in Wales, Baroness Eluned Morgan, delivers a keynote speech marking one year to the 2026 Senedd election, at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff, May 6, 2025

LEFT activists called on First Minister Eluned Morgan’s government to be more radical in its approach today after she delivered a speech aimed at distancing her government from Sir Keir Starmer’s welfare reforms.

Ms Morgan set out what she called the “Red Welsh Way” in an attempt to try and fend off Reform UK in Wales.

But her speech was undermined within hours by an ITV Wales/Cardiff University Senedd poll, which had the Labour vote slumping to 18 per cent in third place behind Reform on 25 per cent and Plaid in the lead on 30 per cent.
