UK Labour shouldn’t work with nationalists who want to break up UK, says Welsh secretary

LIVERPOOL, England — Welsh Secretary Stephen Kinnock said Monday that Labour would struggle to work with Welsh nationalists Plaid Cymru after the next general election if no party wins a decisive victory. Speaking at the POLITICO Pub at Labour Party conference, Kinnock said he “cannot see any circumstances where you could cooperate in any meaningful way, really, with a party that wants to break up the United Kingdom.” Kinnock, who joined the Cabinet in July, said he does believe people in the center-left nationalist force “want what I want, which is the best for Wales.” However, he said that the party has “reverted to type” since it won control of the Welsh parliament, known as the Senedd, from Labour in May after 27 years in power.
