""This is not an... opportunity for a free hit against the UK government. This is not a time for protest votes. "The things that matter here is who is going to deliver those services that people rely on in Wales. "They'll have a choice between the chaos Reform will offer, [or] the pipe dreams that Plaid will offer, which will be a road to independence.""
""Last week Morgan said Sir Keir was only welcome to campaign with her in Wales if he brought "goodies", like announcements of new projects. In the interview Morgan also suggested that voters were not interested in whether Wales's parliament, the Senedd, should take control of policing in Wales - days after she made the request herself in a speech in London. The Welsh government's long-standing policy idea was firmly ruled out by UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on Monday.""
Wales' first minister declined to endorse UK Labour leader Keir Starmer for the upcoming Senedd election, arguing he is not on the ballot and voters should not use the contest to protest against the UK government. The first minister urged focus on who will deliver essential public services, contrasting Reform's chaos with Plaid's pipe-dreams toward independence. She said Starmer could campaign only if he brought tangible project announcements. The long-standing Welsh request for Senedd control of policing was reiterated but has been ruled out by UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
