Plaid Cymru respects Burnham's commitment to deliver change. But talk of a new politics rings hollow if it's not matched by a willingness to devolve power from Westminster to Wales. Our nation needs the tools to build a more prosperous future and a stronger economy.

29 years ago Wales voted for greater control over its own future - but devolution is a journey, not a destination. Wales needs more powers so that our nation is equipped with the tools to build a better future. Mae'r dasg o weithio dros ddyfodol gwell i'n cymunedau yn parhau.

The United Kingdom simply is not working for the people of Wales. Plaid Cymru is demanding better for our nation – from fairer funding to powers to grow our economy. Dylai fod gennym yr hawl ddemocrataidd i benderfynu ar ein dyfodol ein hunain.

Dydy Cymru ddim yn cyrraedd ei photensial fel cenedl gan fod y Deyrnas Unedig, wrth ei gwraidd, yn gwbwl annheg. Mae Plaid Cymru yn galw am y tegwch a'r pwerau sydd eu hangen ar Gymru i adeiladu dyfodol mwy llewyrchus i'n cenedl a'n pobl.

Wales is being held back by a fundamentally unequal United Kingdom. Plaid Cymru is calling for the fairness and the powers Wales needs to build a more prosperous future for our nation and our people.

Devolving policing would bring services already run in Wales together to help keep our communities safer. By having a Plaid Cymru Government, we're already moving the dial and getting Westminster to listen. We’re ready to work with the Prime Minister and his Government to deliver for Wales.

Farage washing his hands of this mess by claiming he simply wasn’t listening. For someone who claims to know electoral law “better than anyone”, he’s recently been embroiled in several investigations into Reform’s donations. Can that truly be down to carelessness?

Plaid Cymru believes that bringing power closer to people provides better outcomes. The PM does too, saying just last week he was open to devolving policing to Wales for that reason. But after strong opposition from Welsh Labour MPs, he seems to be changing his tune on giving Wales more powers.

The people of Wales gave Plaid Cymru a mandate to move our nation forward and secure the powers our communities need to thrive. Andy Burnham has placed devolution at the heart of his agenda - we stand ready to work with him to ensure that his warm words are turned into action.

Plaid Cymru has long argued that policing should be devolved to Wales so this is a welcome change in tone. By having a Plaid Cymru Government, we've managed to move the dial more effectively with the UK Government to secure more powers and deliver a fairer deal for Wales.

Reform’s ex-Welsh leader Nathan Gill was jailed for taking pro-Russian bribes 9 months ago. Now, Reform branches are openly siding with Putin. Rewarding such aggression is no route to peace. Plaid Cymru will continue to stand with Ukraine against Russia’s imperialist actions.

Nigel Farage made a mockery of the electoral system by demanding a by-election to avoid being held to account - and then refused to attend the count to avoid mockery himself. Whatever the actions of a desperate egotist, he cannot avoid scrutiny forever.

This is an important step for devolution in England, bringing power closer to people. But Andy Burnham’s plans shouldn’t stop at Offa’s Dyke. Wales needs more powers over rail, the Crown Estate and justice and policing so that our communities have the means to thrive.

Farage took a £5 million donation from a foreign billionaire and failed to declare it. He owns five mortgage-free homes but declared only two. This so-called ‘man of the people’ seems more focused on lining his own pockets and hiding it than doing the job he was elected to do.
