Content overview: “Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth Urges Andy Burnham to Deliver New Deal on Devolution”. Rhun ap Iorwerth, the Welsh first minister, has formally requested that Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, back a 'new deal' to devolve more powers to Wales, during his first address to a Plaid Cymru annual conference in Llandudno. Ap Iorwerth told party members that his government has a clear mandate for transferring additional responsibilities from Westminster, and he has asked the prime minister to put Wales on an equal footing with Scotland as a bare minimum.
The call signals a push for greater autonomy and could reshape the UK's constitutional balance, with potential implications for funding, law-making, and regional governance. It comes amid broader debates over devolution and the union, with ap Iorwerth positioning Plaid Cymru as a key voice for Welsh self-determination.
