Plaid and Reform 'different poison, same bottle' - FM

The Welsh Government's Minister for Health and Social Services, Eluned Morgan, has criticized both Reform UK and Plaid Cymru during Labour's Autumn conference. She described the two parties as "different poison, same bottle," suggesting they both promote divisive and unrealistic policies. Morgan accused Reform UK of sowing "division" and Plaid Cymru of offering "fantasy" solutions. She argued that while the two parties have different approaches, they ultimately share a common goal of undermining the progress made by the Labour-led government in Wales. The Minister emphasized the need for responsible and pragmatic leadership, in contrast to the "populist" rhetoric of Reform UK and the "unrealistic" proposals of Plaid Cymru. She reaffirmed the Welsh Government's commitment to addressing the country's challenges through evidence-based policymaking and collaborative efforts. The speech highlights the ongoing political tensions in Wales, with the Labour government defending its record against the criticisms of its political opponents.
