Warning UK Gov financial statement could mean “cuts to public services and inevitable job losses” in Wales

Warning UK Gov financial statement could mean “cuts to public services and inevitable job losses” in WalesWelsh Government’s eyes are on Chancellor Hunt and his statement due on Halloween, with a dire warning that if expected cuts to budgets take place then funding cuts would have to be passed on to councils. Locally millions of pounds of cuts have already been made to services operated by Wrexham Council over recent years, with questions over where additional savings could even be found. We work in social partnership here in Wales, so I have a really strong relationship with local government leaders. With the Chancellor making a statement on the 31st of October he could invest in public services and help public services through this difficult period. So they will be making incredibly different difficult choices about the services which they prioritise.

Supreme Court ruling on Scottish referendum exposes ‘fundamentally undemocratic nature of Westminster rule’, says Plaid CymruA Supreme Court ruling that an Independence Referendum Bill is outside the powers of the Scottish Parliament exposes the “fundamentally undemocratic nature of Westminster rule”, Plaid Cymru have said.

However Supreme Court judges unanimously ruled that Scottish ministers would need approval from Westminster before any such referendum could take place.
