Mark Drakeford claimed there is no ‘institutional architecture’ for Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to remain united, and criticised Boris Johnson for failing to meet with the other first ministers.

Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford branded Boris Johnson ‘remote’ as he insisted the United Kingdom has ‘no future’

He believes the break-up of Britain is a very real possibility if politicians do not make major changes and simply ‘tweak the status quo’. ‘What we have to do – to quote a Conservative member of the Senedd, David Melding – is we have to recognise that the union as it is, is over. We have to create a new union.

Mr Drakeford said a new union should be formed to reflect a ‘voluntary association of four nations’, ‘It is all ad-hoc, random, and made up as we go along. And I’m afraid that really is not a satisfactory basis to sustain the future of the UK.
