At MK's 2024 National Conference, party members selected a new Honorary Chairman. At this time, it is right to remember those who went before: Robert Dunstone (1968-1973), Ernest George Retallack Hooper (1973-1998), Richard Jenkin (1998-2002) and Ann Trevenen Jenkin (2011-2024).

Interesting comments from Jim McMahon (Devolution Minister) in a response to a question from Noah Law MP. Does this mean that Devonwall has been ruled out? mebyonkernow.org/news/the-lates…

On this day in 2001, 23 years ago, I was part of the delegation that delivered 50,000 declarations calling for a Cornish Assembly to 10 Downing St. Next week, the Government will publish an English Devolution Bill / White Paper. I call for a CORNISH DEVOLUTION BILL.

Mebyon Kernow has condemned (i) the imposition of an unsustainable housing target on Cornwall and (ii) related planning changes, which will make it more difficult for councillors to represent the views of their local communities. mebyonkernow.org/news/mk-condem…

It is more than disappointing that the "English Devolution" White Paper fails to acknowledge or address the case for devolution to Cornwall. We need a Cornish Devolution Bill. mebyonkernow.org/news/no-good-n…

COMMENT ON WHITE PAPER 1 There is no good news in the Devolution White Paper for Cornwall. It is so frustrating that the Westminster Govt has ignored the collective call for a devolution settlement for Cornwall, which came from all groups on the unitary authority & all six MPs.

COMMENT ON WHITE PAPER 2 The document is promoting three tiers of devolution. Cornwall would be caught on tier 1 with very limited powers, unless it joins up with other local authority areas to the east. They also want such areas to have a population of over 1.5 million people.

COMMENT ON WHITE PAPER 3 Now is not the time to be defeatist. Now is the time for one & all to come together to campaign & demand greater powers for Cornwall through a meaningful democratic settlement, similar to those secured in Wales & Scotland. Cornish Devolution Bill now.

Cornwall’s six MPs have met with Angela Rayner to push for more powers for Cornwall. In next week's Cornish Guardian & West Briton, my column calls on one & all to support this work of the MPs with an energetic campaign for devolution for Cornwall. See: mebyonkernow.org/news/devolutio…

The leader of MK Cllr Dick Cole has tabled a cross-party motion to be debated at the next meeting of Cornwall Council. It has been written to bring people together to support devolution to Cornwall and to oppose any cross-Tamar “combined authority” deal. mebyonkernow.org/news/devolutio…

At a meeting of Plymouth City Council, councillors voted to support the “establishment of a South West Peninsula Mayoral Strategic Authority” covering Cornwall, Devon, Plymouth, and Torbay.” How presumptuous. For MK comment, see: mebyonkernow.org/news/mk-disapp…
