What happened

He urged the Plaid Cymru government to improve collaboration, particularly concerning energy infrastructure, broadband upgrades, and the £50m defence growth deal.

Why it matters
The criticism centers on the pace of policy implementation and infrastructure development within Wales. Kinnock called for more local and regional devolution within Wales to help meet economic demands. He also noted that the UK's Labour government had provided funds for additional needs provision in schools.
