Is Keir Starmer a good Prime Minister? It should be an easy question for Labour politicians — but in Wales, it’s turning into a political headache.

In this episode of Senedd Sources, Ollie Cole, former Welsh Government adviser Jo Kiernan and political communications expert Craig Lawton unpack:

Why Welsh Labour figures are struggling to publicly back Keir Starmer
Growing tension between Welsh Labour and UK Labour over devolution, policing, and funding
What this means ahead of the 2026 Senedd election
The Welsh Liberal Democrats’ path to relevance — can they become kingmakers?
How Lib Dem candidate Sam Bennett says they’ll win despite tough polling
Voter frustration on the doorstep — care, childcare, and collapsing trust in politics
The rise of the Greens and competition on the pro-independence side
Conservative and Reform UK drama — defections, uncertainty, and party identity in Wales

This is insider analysis on how party divisions, leadership doubts, and shifting voter loyalties could reshape the Welsh Parliament (Senedd).
