JEREMY Corbyn took the stage at the Welsh Labour conference on Saturday to hail the work of the party.

Mr Corbyn praised first minister Carwyn Jones and his party colleagues for “continuing to show the difference that Labour can make in government”.

“What Labour has achieved in Wales stands as a beacon, a beacon that shines a light on the Tories’ abject failure socially, economically and morally,” he said.

The Labour leader also praised investments by the Welsh Government into the NHS, social care and other areas, while applauding the presumed consent organ donation scheme, saying “lives are being saved as a result”.

Mr Corbyn also called on the UK government to “stop dithering and act now to invest in all our futures” and called for unity within the party.

“Whether it’s at the town hall, in Cardiff Bay, or at Westminster, Labour being in power means having someone who is standing up for you,” he said. “United we stand, divided we fall.

“And united I believe this great party can do great things, together.”
