First Minister Eluned Morgan has focused on tackling "bread and butter issues" But Lee Waters says her approach risks failing to challenge the perception Labour is just seeking to manage the "status quo" The 2026 election will be the first in Wales to use an entirely proportional system.

Morgan will give a statement in the Senedd on how she plans to deliver on Tuesday .

Health minister Eluned Morgan promised no patient would wait over 12 months for treatment by spring - a promise already broken by virtue of the fact she's set a new target of bringing two-year waits down to 8,000 by April .

For Waters there are echoes of a similar dynamic with a UK Labour government in 1999 which contributed to Alun Michael's demise.
