What Eluned Morgan's Welsh Labour needs to do to win the Senedd election
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info On Saturday night, some of Labour's biggest hitters were in a room listening to the findings of hours of polling and analysis about what the numbers show about Labour's electoral chances in 2026. The Welsh Election Study is a comprehensive piece of work that looks at voting patterns and results from the 2024 general election, and the results did not make comfortable listening for Labour but anyone who left that room thinking the words can be ignored would be wrong. The Welsh Government was not popular at the general election, people viewed it negatively, but Labour still did well, because the UK Government was less popular. On key metrics like education and the NHS, people think services have got worse, and it is the Welsh Government's fault. That is clearly a problem for Labour. People think their standard of living has got worse, but for that they blamed the UK Government mainly, but it still wasn't good news for the Welsh Government. That discontent is playing out in polls - more than now one - projecting the party which has had a longstanding record of success in Wales will get 18% of the vote at the Senedd election in just over 10 months time. Of course, it is more than just Labour policies, there are global matters at play, there is a tendency across the western world to turn away from established politics. Populist politicians and parties are doing well the world over. Wars, finances, the economic climate are all things out of Labour's control. But when this room of experts were asked to list the thing they think Labour needs to do, the message was fairly simple. Labour in Wales needs a clear set of simple messages and with a clear intended audience. That's not so hard, is it? Well, maybe. The background is this, UK Labour is targeting its attacks at Reform. But it's not really clear why when you look at who voted for Reform UK in 2024, thus giving us an insight who may do it in 2026. We know Reform is expected to do well in the election in May 2026 and it could end up as the biggest party, so too could Plaid Cymru. With the obvious disclaimers that the election is a long way away, far from the front of most peoples' minds, and that polling is just a snapshot in time, there is one thing crystal clear - no-one expects it to be Labour. And yet, Eluned Morgan keeps talking about Nigel Farage and the danger his party poses. The First Minister made that clear when she said they were a "real danger" to the NHS in Wales, workers rights, public services. However, it isn't (on the whole) Labour voters - the WES data shows - who are going to vote for them. UK Labour keeps targeting Reform policies too - despite the same being true in England too. Reform isn't taking swathes of Labour voters. The support Labour is losing is mainly, Plaid, but also Lib Dems and Greens. Reform is gaining support in Wales is coming from a combination of new voters (those who don't normally vote) and disaffected Conservatives. And yet it was Reform that Keir Starmer, Jo Stevens and Eluned Morgan mainly chose to target - although the latter two did mention Plaid Cymru too. The message from academic experts at the party event was to work out who they are focusing on. The other message that came from the event was that the messages need to be simple. The First Minister told BBC Wales' Sunday Supplement she "I am responsible for making sure the party has a clear sense of direction and purpose within Wales". She spoke on the radio that she was focusing on the "bread and butter issues". And yet, that is one of the biggest criticisms from her within the party - that there isn't clear direction. There are concerns she has far too many communications advisors, and not enough focusing on actual policy, resulting in a scattergun approach. When her party colleagues went to Llandudno, they heard her speech cover the bases you'd expect - well rehearsed pledges about waiting times and potholes - and she added in commitments to mental health and £5m to tidying up towns (albeit divisible by 22 local authorities) but there was also an eight minute segment about Artificial Intelligence committing money, resources, and now a pre-election pledge to something, quite frankly, something that many simply don't understand how Wales would ever have a stake in. There was widespread confusion why, in a central speech at a crucial time, the First Minister spent eight minutes of her speech talking about AI and committing £2.5m to the development of "excellence zone" in Wales. It was, more than one person said, typical of the chaotic approach at the top of Welsh Labour, with ideas switched between at the drop of a hat. No-one really saw that coming, and knows what it actually means in Wales, nor what £2.5m of funding can actually do to achieve. It is just pennies in a vast virtual ocean. She is facing repeating questions too about her influence on Keir Starmer's government. While Eluned Morgan kept telling journalists that Welsh Government pressure had helped force the welfare u-turn, but the pressure came from rebelling MPs. When Eluned Morgan's Welsh Government wrote a letter detailing the impact the welfare cuts will have on Wales, only five MPs signed it. So it's no surprise she faced questions what her role as Welsh Labour leader means in terms of the 27-strong bloc of MPs who represent Wales. Eluned Morgan says the next election is a "moment of reckoning". She isn't wrong. When we asked her if this focus on Nigel Farage risked glamorising the party too much sway in Wales she was clear, "there is nothing glamorous about Reform". The problem she has is convincing people there is something glamorous about Welsh Labour.

Wes Streeting slams Sky News host's 'mischief' after he asks 'rubbish' question
Health Secretary Wes Streeting launched a passionate defence of Keir Starmer as he branded 'mischief making' talk about the Prime Minister's position a 'load of old rubbish' Wes Streeting reacted with fury when he was asked if he'd ever want to be Prime Minister and slammed the "mischief making" of the Sky News host. The Health Secretary launched a passionate defence of Keir Starmer as he branded talk about the PM's position a "load of old rubbish". It comes as Mr Starmer faces questions over the direction of his government after a series of U-turns on winter fuel payments and welfare. Asked by Sky News' Trevor Phillips whether he'd ever want the "top job", Mr Streeting hit back firmly: "I know exactly what you're up to, and it's mischief making, and it's a load of rubbish, and I'm not entertaining it." He continued: "The fact is that we have got, in Keir Starmer, a Prime Minister who is delivering real change in our country. Of course, it takes time, and I'm not pretending for a moment that all of the problems in our country have been solved, far from it. "Even on the NHS, where I think we've made real progress in our first year, there is so much more to do. There's not a hint of complacency, but we came in to change the country, and that's what we're doing." Defending his boss, Mr Streeting praised Mr Starmer having brought back Labour from the depths of despair after its catastrophic performance at the 2019 General Election. The Cabinet minister went on: "And the final thing I'd say about Keir is that, as well as being a thoroughly decent person, he did something that no one thought he could do, which was to win the Labour leadership and lead us back from the worst defeat since 1935 (at the 2019 election) to winning that big election victory last year. "He's shown real leadership on the world stage and has gotten credit for the way in which he's tried to bring Europe and the United States together to tackle the world's problems. "He's also showing real leadership at home to reform our public services and to create a fairer, more equal, more just society. That's what this Labour Government is about. We've barely just begun. Change has begun, but the best is still to come." Next weekend will mark a year since Mr Starmer won a landslide election victory. But now, the PM is battling flagging poll ratings, rebellious Labour MPs and the surge of Nigel Farage 's Reform UK. Some Labour MPs have grown uneasy over the direction of the Government, culminating in a major rebellion over welfare cuts. The PM was last week forced into a climbdown over plans to cut Personal Independent Payments to avoid a humiliating defeat in the Commons. He had faced losing a crunch vote on his welfare legislation next week after 126 backbenchers signed a rebel amendment.

The Equality Act epitomises Westminster's mindless Utopianism
It is impossible to calculate the total financial cost of the Equality Act to the taxpayer. The 2010 legislation requires all public sector bodies — as well as any organisation in receipt of public funds or carrying out a public function — to integrate equality and anti-discrimination considerations into their operations. The costs are therefore diffused across budgets in the form, for example, of Diversity Equality and Inclusion (DEI) roles, equality impact assessments and legal costs. Reform UK has claimed that abolishing DEI schemes across Government would save an estimated £7 billion a year, which is about a billion pounds short of our annual budget for national roads. Research carried out by the TaxPayers' Alliance last year revealed spending on DEI roles in local authorities rose from just over £12m in 2020-21 to almost £23m in 2022-23. It was the Equality Act under which Birmingham City Council was taken to court by its employees claiming unequal pay. The £1.35 billion incurred by the Council as a result has contributed towards its bankruptcy. While previously the case might have been decided based on the courts' interpretation of 'equivalent work', the 2010 Act has introduced the additional consideration of work 'of equal value'. The financial costs are therefore clearly enormous. But to what end are taxpayers shouldering them? What impact has the legacy of Harriet Harman had on our workplace, and by extension, our society? The Equality Act Isn't Working is the title of a report launched this month by the campaign group Don't Divide Us. With the help of a dossier of audited records from over 5,000 Employment Tribunal cases, the report concludes that the Equality Act is, in fact, 'not fit for its stated purpose' and 'should be reviewed immediately and repealed eventually'. The Act, claim the authors of the report Dr Alka Sehgal Cuthbert and Dr Anna Loutfi, contains 'profound contradictions in respect of the protected characteristic of race that render its provisions largely unworkable in real life.' From authoritarian overreach, effectively awarding 'the state carte blanche to regulate all social relationships' in its legally ordained quest for advancing equality or eliminating discrimination to 'legitimising principles of racial thinking and segregation', the Act in practice contradicts principles of equality as commonly understood, that 'we stand as equal individuals subject to a universal law'. The report captures the muddled thinking behind the Act in one devastating sentence: 'While the Equality Act ostensibly proscribes discrimination on the basis of ethnic group identity, it tacitly prescribes that the law identify us all in terms of ethnic group identity.' This has introduced a specific brand of toxicity into our lives, by causing a 'breakdown of informal civility in the workplace' where 'discontent and complaints are being increasingly experienced, and presented, as problems of racism'. This is borne out by the findings of the report, which reveal that out of the 5,523 cases which have included race-based discrimination jurisdictions between 2017 and 2024, only 281 or 5 percent of race discrimination claims have been upheld in employment courts. Some of the unsuccessful claims, given the opportunity, may well have been resolved through traditional mediating channels between colleagues, with perhaps a greater chance of salvaging a workplace relationship following a dispute without the stress and the unpleasantness of being embroiled in a lengthy legal process. Published in the same month as the 25th anniversary of the Equality Act receiving Royal Assent, this report provides a long overdue audit of a piece of legislation which epitomises Westminster's mindless Utopianism.
