Welsh Labour lawmakers criticize UK government's actions on devolution

Welsh Labour lawmakers accuse Keir Starmer's UK government of undermining devolution. Eleven Senedd members sent a letter citing "constitutional outrage" over perceived overreach. The MSs are concerned about the UK government directly funding Welsh councils for devolved matters like town center improvements, calling it a "constitutional outrage." They also noted a lack of progress on devolving further powers. This internal dissent highlights growing concerns about Labour's declining influence in Wales, with upcoming elections and past byelection losses contributing to the narrative of a party in disarray.
