Wales first minister: ‘We’re within a union that is not a union of equals’

Wales First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth is seeking a new agreement with the United Kingdom, saying the current union is unequal and perpetuates historic unfairness.

He praised Obi for opposing a return to petrol subsidies but said Obi had little to offer beyond statistics.
