First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford has said there is an outright hostility towards devolution THE SNP have said the Tories are responsible for “completely undermining” the Union after the Welsh First Minister criticised an “outright hostility” towards devolution. During an evidence session at the Welsh Affairs Committee, Mark Drakeford, right, said the United Kingdom “is over” and a new union should be crafted to reflect a “voluntary association of four nations”. He also condemned the UK Government’s approach of bypassing the devolved governments through levelling up funds. He stated that: “For the first time since devolution, we are dealing with a UK Government which is aggressively unilateral . and that there is outright hostility to the fact of devolution at the heart of the Government . and a belief that the best way to deal with [devolution] is to bypass it, to marginalise it, to act as if devolution didn’t exist.”
