Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price was prepared to ditch his party’s support for the UK staying in the European single market and customs union in return for unspecified concessions from then Prime Minister Theresa May, an MP has claimed.
Writing in his regular column for the Carmarthen Herald, Jonathan Edwards, the MP for Carmarthen East & Dinefwr, told how in 2018, shortly after he was elected to the party leadership, Mr Price was granted a meeting with Ms May.
At the time she was leading a minority government, having lost her majority in the ill-judged general election of 2017, and was desperate for a deal with the EU that would secure Brexit.
