Welsh Labour lost devolution vision before losing power, says prime minister

Addressing the first Welsh Labour conference since May's Senedd election, Andy Burnham suggested the previous Labour government did not do enough to pass powers down to communities after 27 years of running the Welsh government. He spoke ahead of a review concluding that former First Minister Eluned Morgan's political strategy played a role in the party losing power. The review highlighted that calls for constitutional change did not get through to voters, and Welsh Labour leader Ken Skates criticised the party for focusing too much on powers for the Senedd. Additional findings pointed to a long-term decline in support, public service dissatisfaction, and communication weaknesses.
