WELSH nationalist leader Rhun ap Iorwerth set out his vision today for an independent Wales that is healthier, greener and more prosperous.

The Plaid Cymru leader was speaking at the party conference in Aberystwyth and said: “We are all writing the story of Wales.”

He hit out at the years of “Welsh Labour managerialism, of self-imposed limits on what Wales can be and of Labour as a party still too wedded to Westminster, even in the dark days of this Conservative government’s cronyism and cruelty.”
