First Minister Eluned Morgan says she will “undoubtedly fall out” with the UK Labour government as she tries to realise her own plans for Wales.
She told BBC Politics Wales that as first minister she would have a “country first, party second” approach.
Asked whether she would be prepared to have difficult conversations with her Labour colleagues in Westminster when it comes to asking for more funding for Wales, Morgan said she would be “standing up for Wales”.
The election of a Labour government in both Cardiff and London has been heralded as a “restart” in the relationship between the Welsh and UK governments following hostilities with the Conservatives.
I would absolutely love to believe this, and I sincerely hope this becomes the reality of the situation in the future. That being said, as it currently stands, this is just not true.
Morgan has so far consistently chosen party over country.
