Six weeks ago when Theresa May called an unnecessary election no one could have imagined the outcome would be a hung parliament. The last six weeks have been nothing short of a disaster for Theresa May and her Tory party as people all across the UK have rejected their hard Brexit plans and refused to give them the larger majority they asked for.

The SNP has won the general election in Scotland. The Tories have lost their majority at Westminster.

Both UK and Welsh Labour election manifestos call for the Barnett formula – the system used to allocate money to Scotland – to be scrapped. 

With just days to go before an election which was called entirely for cynical party political advantage, and not in the national interest, the wheels have come off the Tory bandwagon.

We have now launched our manifesto for the General Election on 8 June. It sets out how we will ensure that there is strong opposition to a re-elected and increasingly hard line Tory government at Westminster.
