Keir Hardie lecture 2019

We were delighted to welcome Welsh Labour Leader and First Minister Mark Drakeford to Merthyr college yesterday to deliver the Keir Hardie lecture 2019. Mark made a number of substantial points about Wales place in the UK, the great benefit of the voluntary association of the four nations of the UK – pooling resources and sharing risks, but how the arrangements should now be entrenched in new legal arrangements between the devolved and UK Governments.

Such a step would reflect the values of Keir Hardie and shape Welsh Labour’s vision.
