Skates and the ‘fellowship’ of Labour MSspublished at 15:34 BST
Ken Skates, interim leader of Welsh Labour, says he looks forward to his party being an effective opposition, scrutinising and holding Plaid to account.
A known fan of Lord of the Rings, he gets a laugh from the Senedd as he makes a comparison to his own group of MSs.
“We may only be a group of nine now, but above all we are a fellowship,” he says.
“And let’s remember in The Fellowship of the Ring, it was just nine warriors who overcame enormous odds to bring down an empire guided by their very own Gandalf, who will now guide us and protect our democracy with his shiny new mace.
“Be assured we will not let the party of government off the hook at any time, as they quite rightly did not allow us to.”
