Eluned Morgan tells the Welsh Labour conference that here party will make the Welsh NHS “fit for the 21st century”. Worth noting that we are over a quarter of the way through that century and her party have been in control for the whole of it.

On rail funding the SoS for Wales told conference: . “For years the Tories peddled their lies and false promises on rail. Chronically underfunding Wales. Conference, we’ve put an end to that.” . My keyboard has almost caught fire from how quickly I’m writing the next news

I understand that former Wales rugby captain Ken Owens will NOT be standing for Labour at next year's Senedd election. He will however be introducing the First Minister at the Welsh Labour conference later today.

Wales’ First Minister Eluned Morgan wears a “Red Welsh Way” t-shirt and dances with a Cymru flag on the 1st day of Welsh Labour conference in Llandudno. Reckon she is trying differentiate herself from Keir Starmer & UK Labour?
