Eluned Morgan Announces Welsh Cabinet Reshuffle

Morgan's first reshuffle as Wales' first minister sees key figures return to government roles.

  • Jeremy Miles, who helped oust former first minister Vaughan Gething, is appointed as health and social care secretary.
  • Mark Drakeford, interim health secretary, is now the finance and Welsh language secretary.
  • Julie James returns as counsel general and minister for delivery; Rebecca Evans takes over as economy, energy, and planning secretary.
  • Morgan emphasizes the need for a fresh start and collective responsibility in her new administration.
  • Critics from Plaid Cymru and Welsh Conservatives argue the reshuffle does not address underlying issues within the Labour party.
