Keir Starmer has arrived in Cardiff for his first in-person meeting with First Minister Eluned Morgan since she took up the role.

The Prime Minister will meet with Baroness Morgan in the Welsh capital where they will discuss the relationship between the UK and Welsh Governments.

Baroness Morgan was elected FM earlier this month following Vaughan Gething’s resignation.

Visit

The two leaders are expected to visit a renewable energy site on Tuesday (August 19) where they will look at how Welsh companies are investing in clean power projects to power homes and support jobs in the local community.

It comes a week after the UK Government announced £13.5 million in funding to support supply chain businesses and workers affected by Tata Steel’s decision to transition to greener production.

The UK Government says the people and communities of Wales will be “front and centre” in its quest for “national renewal”.

Sir Keir last visited Wales during his tour of the devolved nations in July.

Baroness Morgan said: “Croeso Keir. I look forward to working together to deliver on our shared priorities, and to ensure a better and fairer future for people in Wales.”

This is just political posturing by Keir Starmer who visits like emperor Nero his native British outpost on the edge of the known world with the intention of stamping his ironclad authority, which is ironic really seeing most Labour politicians are well known for fiddling as their reputation burns to a cinder. Ask former FM of Cambria Vaughan Gething, allegedly.
