First Minister in Gwent Live Updates from the Senedd Election Campaign
First Minister Eluned Morgan conditions Starmer's Welsh campaign participation on securing further investment beyond his £14 billion rail programme endorsement.
- On March 2, 2026, Baroness Eluned Morgan said she would welcome Sir Keir Starmer on the Welsh Labour campaign trail if he promises more investment at Newport Market.
- Facing challengers Plaid Cymru and Reform, the upcoming Senedd election in May could end Labour's control since 1999, according to recent polls.
- Starmer previously backed a £14 billion rail pipeline, and Morgan said `If he brings me another £14 billion, he is very welcome on the campaign trail`, though uncertainty over additional funding remains.
- Welsh Labour unveiled policies including same-day mental healthcare, a £2 bus fare cap, better hospital transport and tougher fly-tipping fines, while Morgan said `I have a country to run here` to stress Welsh priorities.
- A Plaid Cymru spokeswoman responded that Labour has long run out of ideas after decades in power and criticised NHS waiting times and overstretched services.
