The Leader of the Welsh Conservatives has criticised the First Minister for not focussing on “the people’s priorities” and “constitutional naval gazing” instead, by again calling for more devolved powers in a speech given today.
Darren Millar MS has described calls for more devolved powers as a “mistake” and “appeasing Plaid Cymru’s salami-slice strategy toward independence”.
Both Labour and Reform UK support more powers being devolved to the Senedd. The Welsh Conservatives are unequivocally against the devolution of more powers and the creation of more politicians.
Commenting, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Darren Millar MS said:
“The First Minister should focus on the people’s priorities, not constitutional naval gazing.
“Appeasing Plaid Cymru’s salami-slice strategy toward independence is a mistake being pursued by both Labour and Reform in calling for more devolved powers.
“Only the Welsh Conservatives will respect the devolution settlement. We are clear and unequivocal in saying no to more powers and no to more politicians. We will use the powers already available to cut taxes, improve public services and fix Wales.”
