Description
Mair Eluned Morgan, Baroness Morgan of Ely , (born 16 February 1967), is a Welsh politician who has served as First Minister of Wales and Leader of Welsh Labour since 2024. Morgan is the first woman, and first member of the House of Lords to hold the office of First Minister. She previously served as Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care in the Welsh Government from 2021 to 2024.
Morgan has been a member of the House of Lords since 2011, a member of the Senedd (MS) since 2016 and was a member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1994 to 2009. She is currently on a leave of absence from the House of Lords.
She is a Welsh speaker and was Minister for the Welsh Language from 2017 to 2021. She also served as Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing from 2020 to 2021.
As leader of Welsh Labour and first minister, Morgan has revived Welsh Labour's clear red water strategy used from the early 2000s to 2024, shifting Welsh Labour back to the political left and distancing it from the centrist UK Labour leadership of Keir Starmer, criticising the policies implemented by Starmer's government.
