‘The red Welsh way’: Welsh Labour attempts to distance itself from the UK party

  1. Too late now, I doubt the new Welsh language schooling law will save them either, those who love it will just vote Plaid, those who don’t will vote Reform. That law just sums-up Welsh Labour, wanking about with frankly trivial things whilst real big problems need fixing.

  2. Too little, too late.

    Welsh Labour are going to get destroyed next year in the Senedd elections. This is why Jeremy Miles didn’t want the big job when Vaughan Gething was ousted.

  3. Why bother with Labour for the nth time when you can vote for Plaid? Plaid won’t seek independence, so there’s no need to worry about that, and they don’t *need* to try to performatively distance themselves from UK Labour. Plaid is the natural choice for people who want a genuine, left of centre, Welsh party to vote for.

    And if you don’t want that, there’s Reform, which offers the opposite. So what is Welsh Labour for, really?

  4. Then they can prove it by banning individuals from renting out multiple properties.

    If they’re not going to solve the single biggest cost to individuals and communities, then there’s no reason to believe they’ll do anything to put us on a positive trajectory.

  5. The Red Welsh Way …….keep whining, but come back with the begging bowl, to fund peripheral vanity projects that don’t help ordinary Welsh citizens. It’s quite pathetic.

  6. I’ll bet Welsh Labour amalgamate with Plaid Cymru within the next year or so and go all out to leave the union.

  7. Gething destroyed the party’s credibility and Eluned’s lacklustre lukewarm leadership until now has failed to stand up to Starmer and stem the bleeding from the policies of his UK government. I feel it is unlikely for Welsh Labour to recover against the populist forces in Plaid and Reform now by the 2026 Senedd election. Clear Red Water worked under Rhodri, Carwyn and Drakeford, but that’s because the people behind it were genuine leaders with a vision who stood up for Wales in their own way. Eluned has been very weak thus far and it’s taken her almost a year to start publicly opposing the UK direction of Labour. She should’ve ditched Gething’s silly “partnership in power” mentality the second she got in. Now it’s too little, too late…

  8. Eluned Morgan just seemed to copy what Plaid has been saying for a long time.

  9. They failed @PrifWeinidog will do exactly what her Westminster masters tell her to!

    At the moment that’s harm the disabled!
