Ahead of the close of Labour’s leadership nomination period, Rhun ap Iorwerth, Leader of Plaid Cymru said:
“In the run up to today’s deadline for nominations, Labour fixers have been more concerned with party management than offering a change of direction for Wales.
“We've heard nothing in terms of policy and no indication that Eluned Morgan will knock on Keir Starmer’s door and demand what’s best for Wales.
“A ‘more of the same approach’ will only deepen inequality, stifle ambition, and continue the downward spiral of health and educational outcomes under Labour.
“Eluned Morgan will today become the third Labour leader in Wales in three months.
“She knows that for Welsh Government to have legitimacy in such circumstances, a fresh election is needed, as Labour themselves called for when both UK and Scottish Governments went through successive leadership changes.
“But they won't allow an election, and will do all they can, including teaming up with the Conservatives, to stop that happening, it seems.
“Plaid Cymru will continue to stand up for Welsh citizens, holding the incoming leader to account on her and Labour's legacy, including of course, the state of the Welsh NHS which has continued to decline under her watch and both her predecessors, despite the heroic efforts of the health and care workforce.”
