THE level of “excitement” for independence in North East Wales could see more voters backing Plaid Cymru, the party’s leader has claimed. Adam Price said Plaid Cymru would hold an independence referendum in the first five year term if elected to govern following tomorrow’s (Thursday, May 6) Senedd elections. One recent opinion poll put support for Welsh independence as high as 39 per cent, with Wrexham selected as the next location for an independence rally once large gatherings are permitted.

The Prime Minister was speaking during a visit to a factory in Wrexham, which was foreshadowed by claims he said he would rather have “bodies pile high in their thousands” than implement a third coronavirus lockdown. He described the allegations as “total, total rubbish” after details of a discussion, which was said to have been held in Downing Street in the autumn, were reported by the Daily Mail.
The Prime Minister was speaking during a visit to a factory in Wrexham. His visit was part of a whistlestop tour of the region which saw him visit Prestatyn and Llandudno. His tour was foreshadowed by claims he said he would rather have “bodies pile high in their thousands” than implement a third coronavirus lockdown. He described the allegations as “total, total rubbish” after details of a discussion, which was said to have been held in Downing Street in the autumn, were reported by the Daily Mail. Mr Johnson’s tour of Net World Sports on the town’s industrial estate also followed shortly after claims by his former chief aide Dominic Cummings that the refurbishment of his flat was being funded by Conservative Party donors.
