Starmer's Departure Must Mark a Change in Westminster's Attitude Towards Wales

Commenting on the resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Welsh Liberal Democrat Spokesperson David Chadwick MP said:

"Changing the person at the top won't change much unless Labour finally confronts the structural problems that continue to hold Wales back.

"Despite Labour’s catastrophic Senedd election results, there is little sign that Westminster Labour's attitude towards Wales has changed.

"The next Prime Minister must also learn a lesson that the last five have ignored: you cannot sustainably grow the economy without pursuing a closer relationship with the EU or introducing a fairer funding formula for Wales that recognises the unique needs of our population.

"Wales needs more than a new Prime Minister. We need a Westminster government that finally takes Wales seriously."
