SIR KEIR STARMER failed Wales, Plaid Cymru Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts MP said today in response to the Prime Minister’s resignation.

She highlighted how the Prime Minister, in his resignation speech on the steps of Downing Street, said that he had promised and delivered change for Britain.

“Many of our communities in Wales will be left wondering what positive change has been brought about in the past two years since Labour took office,” Ms Saville-Roberts said.

“Wales deserves better — that includes real constitutional changes to deliver power to our communities. Justice, rail and our natural resources should be controlled here in Wales, alongside fair funding for our public services.  

 “Devolution has been considered a threat for too long. Keir Starmer’s resignation today must mark a turning point for Westminster — a moment to finally shift away from arrogant centralised control towards genuine devolution as a way to improve lives across Wales, and across the different UK nations too.”

Under Sir Keir, Labour plunged to its worst election result in a century in Wales, polling just 11 per cent in the Senedd election in May.
