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).
