Can Starmer reinvigorate Welsh Labour?

12 min listen

In This Episode

Keir Starmer has been meeting the new First Minister Eluned Morgan as part of a two day trip to Wales. While the trip included a visit to a wind farm, Starmer quickly faced questions about the fate of steel workers in Port Talbot. What does this challenge tell us about Starmer’s Industrial Strategy and his relationship with the devolved nations? Could Welsh Labour soon face the same anti-incumbency threat that the Conservatives and the SNP faced? 

James Heale is joined by Tom Baldwin, Starmer’s biographer, and Ruth Mosalski, political editor at WalesOnline.

Produced by Patrick Gibbons.
