Welsh Labour is reportedly being regularly 'told off' every time Mark Drakeford suggests that the UK is made up of four separate countries.
Mark Drakeford has been a fierce advocate for what he calls "home rule". This would mean that there would be significantly more devolution of powers from London to Wales, Scotland and NI. The policy is underpinned by the First Minister's deeply held belief that the UK is not a merely a county in and of itself but a genuine union of four nations who each have sovereignty.
Though it has been a very popular stance in Wales with Welsh Labour outmanoeuvring Plaid Cymru and contributing to a big win for Welsh Labour in 2021, it appears that Labour politicians in other parts of the UK are not too happy with Wales' First Minister's rhetoric.
