Eluned Morgan Accidentally Says 'Vote Plaid Cymru' at Labour Rally

Labour used the event to publish manifesto costings.

Overview

  • At Barry Island on Thursday, Eluned Morgan said “Pleidleisiwch Plaid Cymru” by mistake before correcting to “Plaid Lafur.”
  • She later told ITV Wales she was exhausted, saying the switch into Welsh made “Cymru” come out by habit.
  • The slip drew laughs and applause from Labour supporters gathered at the bandstand.
  • Welsh Labour used the week‑to‑go event to release its manifesto costings for voters to see planned spending choices.
  • Morgan said she has written to Plaid leader Rhun ap Iorwerth urging him to publish spending figures after a BBC debate where Reform UK pressed all parties to do so.
