00:00What happened? Well, I don't accept that I'm going to lose my seat. I'm going to fight every step of
00:05the way. I'm just outside the National Library in Aberystwyth where I just spoke to Ellen Ed Morgan,
00:09the First Minister for Welsh Labour. My name's Deb Luxon and I'm a reporter for the Cambrian
00:14News. How does Ellen Ed Morgan feel about the likelihood that she'll lose her seat
00:18and lose Welsh Labour's power in Welsh Government for the first time in 26 years? Let's see what
00:23she had to say. What happened? Well, I don't accept that I'm going to lose my seat. I'm going to
00:28fight
00:28every step of the way. There's no question about it. It's a challenge and it's a bigger
00:33challenge every time you win. And I do think that people are starting to feel like the world's
00:40in a very precarious situation and whether it is worth taking a leap into the unknown when
00:48it's clear that other political parties' plans are either not detailed or costed or deliverable.
00:56In this seat in Caratigion, it's clear that Plaid are going to win a couple of seats. That's
01:03clear. The chances are reform are going to win at least one or maybe two seats. So the battle
01:10end is for who gets the final seats on the list. You know, you probably never have a First Minister
01:16again, who represents rural Wales, who's from rural Wales, West Wales. To lose that ability
01:23would be a crying shame for people in this area. You have to admit that it's incredibly unlikely
01:29that Welsh Labour is going to stay in power. So what do you say to that? We've been under
01:33a huge amount of pressure. If you think about what's happened since the last election, we've
01:37had pandemic. We've had to come to terms with Brexit. We've had massive inflation as a result
01:43of the Ukraine war. We've had four Prime Ministers in Westminster. And now we've got the Middle East
01:51war. And yet, despite that, we've managed to keep the wheels on the bus and deliver significantly
01:57for the people of Wales. So 2.75 million appointments are carried out every month in the population
02:05of 3 million people by the NHS in Wales. So it's working for the vast majority of people.
02:11We've got inward investment increasing in Wales. We've got 30% increase in number of people employed
02:18as a result of inward investment. If you look at our education, you know, our GCSE results are
02:26improving, so are our A-level results. If you look at transport, we've transformed rail infrastructure
02:32and now we're doing the same thing for buses. So all of those things demonstrate actually
02:37that what we do is we deliver.
