Description:

The new leader of Labour in Wales has described her pride at being on the brink of becoming her party’s first female head of government as she promised to heal divisions within the Welsh government.

Eluned Morgan, who is a peer, admitted it was “odd” that a baroness had become leader of Welsh Labour but said her connections in both UK houses of parliament would help make life better for the people of Wales.

Lady Morgan, who is currently the health secretary in Wales, became leader as nobody else put themselves forward for the role after the resignation of Vaughan Gething over a donations scandal.
