He leads arguably the most successful party in the democratic world. Mark Drakeford has just led Labour to another win in Wales, completing an unbroken century of election victories, if not power. The first minister commands half the seats in the Senedd Cymru and, polls suggest, has the highest net approval ratings of any leader in the UK, including Nicola Sturgeon. And yet nobody seems to want to listen to him. Not outside Wales anyway. This week Mr Drakeford unveiled a 20-point plan to reform “our union”, to save what he called a ‘fragile” UK from itself. He warned Boris Johnson and his UK ministers were acting “aggressively” and “unilaterally”, ignoring devolved governments in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. He called for a “reset”, for a new UK, a voluntary, constitutionally guaranteed “partnership of equals”.
