Starmer open to talks on expanding Senedd powers with Plaid leader

What happened: Sir Keir Starmer congratulated Rhun ap Iorwerth on becoming Plaid Cymru's first minister and expressed willingness to discuss granting more powers to the Senedd.

Why it matters:

  • Potential changes could increase the Senedd's authority over Welsh affairs.
  • Welsh citizens and political stakeholders may see shifts in governance and policy-making.

MNN Take: The conversation signals a readiness to explore devolution enhancements, reflecting ongoing discussions about Wales's political autonomy within the UK.
