John Swinney will hold talks with Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth in Edinburgh today, with both men keen to work together to develop a “progressive alliance” between their two nations.

The Plaid Cymru leader - whose party scored a dramatic win in last week's Senedd by-election in Caerphilly - meanwhile said they had a “genuine opportunity to show the power of progressive politics”.
