Welsh first minister backs Starmer but calls Mandelson scandal 'troubling'

Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan says she backs Sir Keir Starmer remaining as prime minister, saying "the country needs stability in an age of instability".

But in her statement on Tuesday Morgan also called the Lord Mandelson scandal "deeply troubling" and that "once again, the voices of women and girls were ignored".

It comes a day after Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar called for Sir Keir to resign, after which Morgan was criticised for remaining silent as Sir Keir battled to shore up his premiership.

UK cabinet ministers, including the Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens, responded to Sarwar's call by offering their support to the prime minister.
