威尔士劳工局指控Starmer未经协商就资助威尔士地方项目,从而破坏权力下放。 Welsh Labour accuses Starmer of undermining devolution by funding local projects in Wales without consultation.

Senedd的11名威尔士劳工党成员指控Keir Starmer总理破坏权力下放,利用《联合王国内部市场法》将2.14亿英镑的资金用于威尔士的地方项目,例如修复公共汽车住所和重新开放威尔士控制下的公园厕所。 Eleven Welsh Labour members of the Senedd have accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer of undermining devolution by using the UK Internal Market Act to direct £214 million in funding to local projects in Wales, such as fixing bus shelters and reopening park toilets—functions under Welsh control. 他们认为此举绕过了适当的协商，违背了工党的权力下放承诺，并且存在宪法过度干预的风险，尤其是在巴内特公式变更、警务和铁路权力下放等关键改革尚未落实的情况下。 They argue the move bypasses proper consultation, contradicts Labour’s devolution promises, and risks constitutional overreach, especially as key reforms like changes to the Barnett formula and devolving policing and rail remain unfulfilled. 以前部长为首的批评凸显了威尔士在劳动支持不断下降的情况下党内内部分歧,Plaid Cymru、保守党和自由民主党占据了裂痕。 The criticism, led by former ministers, highlights internal party divisions amid declining Labour support in Wales, with Plaid Cymru, Conservatives, and the Lib Dems seizing on the rift. 虽然联合王国政府说它与威尔士合作,赋予当地社区权力,但它没有直接解决权力下放问题。 While the UK government says it works with Wales and empowers local communities, it did not directly address the devolution concerns.
