Plaid Cymru leader was 'turned down' for meeting with PM, he claims

Calls for a meeting with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer have been snubbed by No 10, the leader of Plaid Cymru has told Sky News. Rhun ap Iorwerth, who has served as leader of the Welsh nationalist party since June 2023, is looking likely to become Wales' first minister next May, but when he asked to meet with Sir Keir after his election last year, he says he was turned down. Speaking with Sky News' political correspondent Liz Bates, Mr ap Iorwerth said he had "never" had a conversation with the prime minister but it was "not because I haven't tried". #skynews #wales #politics #government #interview Read more: https://news.sky.com/story/sir-keir-starmer-is-snubbing-me-plaid-cymru-leader-claims-13448617 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
