Wales “carried the torch” for the Labour Party during their 14 years in Opposition, the prime minister has said.
Keir Starmer said at the Wales party conference that the country shows “Labour can deliver”.
“For 14 years, this nation here has carried the torch for the entire Labour Party”, he said.
“The only great nation on our islands where we could show as a movement the change that we can deliver for working people,.
Starmer lauded Welsh Labour members for their work leading to the July general election that showed “this changed Labour Party is fit to govern, not just in Wales but across the whole of Britain, that we are ready for a new era.
“Labour Wales and Labour Britain pulling in the same direction, the full force of our nation once again serving the people of Wales.”
