Labour’s Wild Week: Starmer, Eluned Morgan & Welsh Election Fallout

Labour faces one of its most turbulent weeks in years — and the fallout is being felt in Wales.

In this episode of Senedd Sources, we break down the political storm engulfing Keir Starmer after controversy over a senior appointment, the resignation of key Downing Street figures, and mounting pressure from within Labour ranks — including intervention from Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.

So where does this leave Welsh Labour and First Minister Eluned Morgan ahead of the crucial 2026 Senedd election?

Joining Ollie Cole, Jo Kiernan and Craig Lawton is Alex Barros-Curtis MP (Labour, Cardiff West) to discuss:

• Whether Starmer’s leadership is under real threat
• How Westminster drama impacts Welsh politics
• Labour’s slipping poll numbers in Wales
• The rise of Reform UK and Plaid Cymru
• The growing tension between MPs and MSs
• Why “Don’t Know” voters could decide the next Senedd election

With conference season beginning and the Welsh political landscape shifting, this is essential listening for anyone following UK politics, Welsh Labour, or the future of devolution.
