In response to the Welsh Government setting out plans to strengthen the United Kingdom, Plaid Cymru Deputy Leader, Rhun ap Iorwerth MS said,
“Past experience shows us clearly that UK Government, be it red or blue, will never put Wales first. Labour have been talking about setting up a constitutional convention for almost a decade, with then First Minister Carwyn Jones promising this as long ago as 2012. But nothing happens. Labour’s thinking on the union, appears to be stuck in the past.
“The UK is more than fragile – it is failing utterly to deliver economic and social justice for the people of Wales. The only way of achieving this is by putting Wales’s future in Wales’s hands, free from Westminster’s chaos and incompetence. It’s why support for independence is at an all-time high, and growing. It’s time for Labour in Wales to stop defending the indefensible.”
