INDEPENDENCE campaigners used their St David’s Day message on Saturday to demand the Welsh Labour government be more assertive in demanding fair funding and control over Wales’s resources.

YesCymru urged it to follow Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham’s calls for a new deal for the north of England.

The demand came after Labour MPs, including those from Wales, recently voted against devolving the Crown Estate to Wales — directly opposing the policy of the Labour-run Welsh government.
