Wales’ Labour first minister Eluned Morgan says she will ‘call out’ Starmer
Wales’ First Minister Eluned Morgan has said she will “call out” Labour in Westminster when it “gets it wrong for Wales”.
In a major speech the Welsh Labour leader said she will “not stay silent” if the UK government takes decisions “we think will harm Welsh communities”.
She called for UK ministers to rethink cuts to winter fuel; suggested plans to cut disability benefit were unlikely to get people into work, and demanded Wales benefit more from wind power via the Crown Estate.
It comes after the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, introduced changes to personal independence payments (PIP) and cuts to health-related universal credit during the Spring Statement.
