"I hope Eluned becomes our leader" - Jeremy Miles Eluned Morgan has told Adrian Masters she's "giving serious consideration to standing" - and if she did, it would be on a joint ticket with Huw Irranca-Davies as deputy






Task facing Eluned Morgan: ➡️ Unite divided Labour group in Senedd ➡️ Get opposition party support for budget/legislation ➡️ 2026 election when "funding is shrinking and the ability to blame Conservative UK governments has disappeared" Adrian Masters ⬇️

So Jane Dodds AS/MS 🔶🏴 has just abstained in First Minister nominations, Labour/Plaid and Tories nominating their party leaders as expected, so Eluned Morgan expected to get the numbers for nomination

"I couldn't ask for a more capable political partner" Eluned Morgan on Huw Irranca-Davies - he will be her deputy, and the combination of the two of them is also designed to unite a Labour Senedd group that's been divided.

Congratulations and humour from Andrew RT Davies towards Eluned Morgan -- "I think you'll be the fourth FM I've had the opportunity to do that with [debate], that most probably speaks maybe more to my electoral failure... than ultimately your ability to answer those questions!"

Next, Plaid Cymru 🏴 give their congratulations, but add "this isn't a tidy transfer of power" Rhun ap Iorwerth & say labour in other parts of UK have called for elections when there have been so many leadership changes.

"At last" Jane Dodds AS/MS 🔶🏴 on Eluned Morgan as the second female party leader in the Senedd "I'm really delighted to see a woman leading a party" "It's about a more equal politics, a more compassionate politics"


So Eluned Morgan shatters the glass ceiling but long established difficulties remain 🎥 54 secs explainer ⬇️ The full article itv.com/news/wales/202… #megsminutes
