Darren Millar MS Leader of the Welsh Conservatives

Welsh Conservative Leader Darren Millar has branded news of a pact between Plaid Cymru and the SNP as a "regressive alliance".

His comments were made in response to a meeting of the Plaid Cymru Leader Rhun ap Iorweth and the Scottish First Minister and SNP Leader John Swinney, who held a meeting today at which they discussed forming a so called "progressive alliance" between the two pro-independence political parties.

Commenting, Welsh Conservative Leader Darren Millar MS, said:

"There's nothing progressive about Plaid and the SNP's plans to tear apart the United Kingdom.

"These political parties pose a danger to our economic security that would cost every single family in Wales thousands of pounds each and every year, and put pensions, jobs and livelihoods at risk.

"While they offer a regressive alliance that will see further decline in our economy and public services, only the Welsh Conservatives have a credible plan to fix Wales, and we are the only party truly committed to ensuring a strong Wales in a strong United Kingdom.

"Wales needs a Government that is focused on fixing the everyday problems people face, not one that's obsessed by constitutional naval gazing."
