CYMRU Morning Star supporters meet for the first time at an all-Wales conference today in Cardiff to debate progressive policies for parties in Wales to adopt for the Senedd election in 2026.

Developing left ideas to attract voters to vote for a positive view of a Wales that has a clear idea of how to combat endemic poverty of around 20 per cent and child poverty at a shameful 30 per cent will be central to defeating Reform UK at the ballot box.
