Prime Minister Keir Starmer has sent a clear message to his cabinet on handling relations with the Welsh Government. In a leaked memo, he emphasized the need for a “professional and respectful” relationship with devolved nations such as Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. However, he warned against being too deferential or taking a laid-back approach.

The memo came up during First Minister’s Questions in the Senedd, sparking debate. Rhun ap Iorwerth from Plaid Cymru raised concerns, suggesting it might be an attack on the democratic rights of devolved governments. He questioned why Labour seems to have shifted its stance on devolution.
