Welsh Labour's first pro-independence group launches next week. Its backers, speaking to Express.co.uk, claim more cohorts within the party will come forward in the future, potentially putting First Minister Drakeford's pro-Union position at risk. Sïon Jobbins, chair of the independence campaign group YesCymru, told Express.co.uk that its membership had surged from 2,000 in February, to 17,000 today. He said: "It's enabled the myth fed to Welsh people to be dispelled, that we need Westminster rule.” Now, a campaign group in the Labour Party - Labour for IndyWales - is set to spark potential trouble for both Mr Drakeford and Sir Keir Starmer.
