Spokesperson cites ‘fiscal inheritance’ after apparent softening of position by Starmer and Phillipson
The Welsh Conservatives are set to demand the Senedd be recalled to appoint a new first minister if only one candidate is running to replace Vaughan Gething. Tory leader Andrew RT Davies will write to the presiding officer on Wednesday to call for the Welsh Parliament to be returned if Health Minister Eluned Morgan is the only candidate on the ballot.
Morgan announced on Monday she will be standing on a joint “unity” ticket with rural affairs minister Huw Irranca-Davies, who would become deputy first minister. No other candidates have announced their intention to run, with Baroness Morgan automatically becoming Welsh Labour leader if that remains the case by Wednesday. Davies has argued that if Morgan is the only candidate then the Senedd should be recalled to appoint a first minister.
