The First Minister met with Plaid leader Rhun ap Iorwerth at his official residence in Edinburgh on Thursday, with the pair seeking to share lessons ahead of respective elections in May.

A win for Plaid and a return to power for a third decade for the SNP - both parties who support independence from the UK - would be a “wake-up call” to the UK Government, Mr ap Iorweth said in a statement after the meeting.
