It was a real privilege to welcome the Keir Starmer to Llandudno, the first Prime Minister to address Welsh Labour Conference in 14 years.

Our Labour Governments are pulling in the same direction once again, kickstarting a new era of opportunity for Wales.

In just four months, the UK Labour Government’s budget has delivered:

• Record additional funding of more than £1.7 billion to support public services in Wales, with a focus on strengthening our NHS and bringing down waiting times.
• £88m for City and Growth Deals including Cardiff Capital City Region.
• £25m to continue the maintenance that keeps coal tips safe in former mining areas.
• £320m to drive economic growth with Investment Zones in Cardiff and Newport, and in Wrexham and Flintshire, freeports in Milford Haven and Port Talbot that will boost local economies and create high-quality jobs for the future.
• £440m Levelling Up Funding protected for local communities right across Wales.

Labour is proud of Wales. We have cast aside the divisive politics of other parties who continually talk our nation down. Our governments are working in a spirit of unity and partnership to deliver a future people in Wales can be proud of.
