Plaid Cymru slams new paper as “yesterday’s ideas”
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.
“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.
“A broken record won’t save a broken union.
“Time and again they have voted in the UK Parliament against more powers for the Senedd.
“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.
“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.”
