A Labour MP has said the party in Wales is like a family that will always fall out but will "knuckle down and come together" ahead of the Senedd election.
Ruth Jones was speaking after the First Minister distanced herself from some of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's policies for the first time, in a speech earlier this week.
It also follows a meeting between Eluned Morgan and Welsh MPs in which she is believed to have accused them of not standing up for Wales.
This week an ITV Wales / Cardiff University poll suggested Labour had sunk to a historic low, in third place in Wales at 18% behind Plaid Cymru at 30% and Reform at 25%.
Jones, the MP for Newport West and Islwyn, said: "We understand what is going on on the doorstep. We do get it.
"Going forward, we need to make sure there is a good message getting out there.
"In terms of the relationship with the Senedd, we are brothers and sisters in the same party, we will always have rows, we will always fall out but we are always family and at the end of the day we will come together to make sure we get the best Senedd result for the Labour Party that we can."
