The Labour election carnage continues apace across the entire British Isles, and this casualty was historic.
The First Minister of Wales has lost her bid for reelection to the Welsh Senedd (Parliament).

It’s the first time in British history that a sitting head of Government has lost re-election to the house they led pic.twitter.com/e4SmRvPrrL
Labor has lorded it over the Welsh for more than a century and has had control of the government since what's known as 'devolution' in 1999. That was when the British Parliament transferred its executive and legislative powers to a devolved government and legislature in Wales.
Labour running amok for the past two decades has not endeared them to the Welsh in the interim. Between fascist COVID policies and ludicrous, intrusive authoritarian Net Zero mandates - a nationwide urban 20 mph speed limit, for one, among other climate cult lunacies...
Yea, who knew that 20mph speed limits and funding for solar powered canoes in the Amazon would piss off the electorate 😂 good fucking riddance 👍 pic.twitter.com/7ZMWmUwTSl

...the Welsh had also had their fill of the party.
...The collapse of dominant parties can often appear sudden. Just five years ago, Welsh Labour was celebrating one of its best Senedd election results. Labour was still in a triumphant mood as recently as two years ago, dominating the 2024 general election and wiping out the Conservatives in Wales.
Yet the political mood has shifted dramatically. Vaughan Gething, a former Welsh Labour first minister, was forced out in 2024 following controversy over campaign donations. This fuelled perceptions of instability and corruption within the party. Declining confidence in the Welsh government and an electorate increasingly weary after more than two decades of uninterrupted Labour rule have left the party’s prospects looking bleak.
The pandemic has also played a role. It raised public awareness of the powers held by the devolved Welsh government, which includes health and education. While undoubtedly a positive in terms of political knowledge, it means Welsh Labour is less able to point the blame for problems towards Westminster.
Policies such as the introduction of a default 20mph speed limit in urban areas, alongside reforms affecting farming, have provoked vocal backlash among sections of the electorate.
It was time for the Labour Big Brothers and Sisters to go.
...Against this backdrop, Welsh Labour needed something substantial to present to the electorate when it launched its manifesto in March. One of the centrepieces trailed in the press was a pledge to freeze taxes if re-elected. While such a freeze may be welcomed by voters, it is ultimately emblematic of a party promising little more than continuity. In effect, freezing taxes means keeping things as they are.
Now, to be fair, the First Minister was in favor of 20 mph zones even when they impacted her personally, as she'd lost her driver's license while the Health Minister for speeding on them one too many times. This is the hardcore, globalist cult mentality.
Welsh Health Minister Eluned Morgan has been disqualified from driving for six months.
Ms Morgan received the ban for accumulating too many points on her licence after speeding on a 30mph road in Wrexham.
...Ms Morgan, Labour Member of the Senedd for Mid and West Wales, was disqualified at Mold Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
...The minister is also a member of the House of Lords, with the formal title Baroness Morgan, and was a member of the European Parliament between 1994 and 2009.
It's no wonder Welsh voters rejected them with a vengeance, turning to center-left, nationalist, independence-minded Plaid Cymru and Farage's Reform in almost equal measure.
Plaid Cymru will be forming a minority government with 43 members, to Reform in second at 34. Labour lost 35 seats to finish with a dismal 9 members.

First Minister Morgan, unlike the British Prime Minister who is still getting his nose bloodied at this moment, while his Labour constituencies are being beaten to a pulp, resigned her position immediately.
Even as she took responsibility for Labor's Welsh losses, she took a parting shot at Starmer while stopping just short of calling for his resignation.
Baroness Eluned Morgan, the First Minister of Wales, has warned that Sir Keir Starmer’s Government needs to “change course” after she resigned as leader of Welsh Labour on failing to be re-elected to the Senedd.
The parting broadside at Sir Keir’s Government came amid a disastrous set of election results for Labour across Wales and in councils in England, though Lady Morgan insisted she took responsibility for the party’s Senedd results.
Lady Morgan losing her seat marks the first time a sitting Welsh leader has lost an election in the Welsh Parliament, and is one of many results across Britain that will add to growing pressure on the Government in Westminster.
Labour has led Wales since the Senedd was first established as the National Assembly for Wales in 1999, and has been the largest party in the country for more than a century.
...In a speech announcing her resignation as Welsh Labour leader at an election count in West Wales, Lady Morgan said: “It is clear that results across the whole of the United Kingdom have demonstrated deep frustration with the Labour Party.
“We need to go back to being the party of the working-class. We need the Labour Government nationally to change course. We need the wealth of this nation to be more equally distributed away from the South East.
Labour will be a long time, if ever, coming back in Wales.
'Labour have been absolutely decimated.'

Or it could be this...
I think the big takeaway from the UK elections is that Kier Starmer just didn’t arrest enough people for mean Facebook posts
