Plaid Cymru slams new paper as “yesterday’s ideas”
Â
Responding to a paper ‘We, the people: The Case for Radical Federalism’ written by a group of Labour politicians and activists, Shadow Minister for Public Service Transformation, Delyth Jewell MS said,
“These are yesterday’s ideas from yesterday’s party.
Â
“Labour had thirteen years in power in Westminster to deliver radical devolution for Wales and failed. They again promised a “radical extension of devolution” in 2017, as did Keir Starmer during his leadership campaign only to now deny Scotland’s right to hold a new referendum on independence.
Â
“A broken record won’t save a broken union.
Â
“Time and again they have voted in the UK Parliament against more powers for the Senedd.
Â
“The Labour Party is quickly being overtaken by events and the desires of the people of Wales – including half of their membership – to see our nation have full control over deciding its own future.
Â
“More and more people want independence for Wales but if they want it, they have to vote for it in the Senedd elections. The common goals of social justice, a greener future and a nation free from Westminster rule means that there is a home in Plaid Cymru for everyone who believes in the most radical and meaningful devolution of all – an independent Wales.”
