Welsh income tax would put UK at risk says Shadow Welsh Secretary

Labour is the party that campaigned for devolution and delivered it for Wales and Scotland, and we support additional powers where they will help grow the Welsh economy, such as borrowing powers to invest in infrastructure. But we will not risk undermining the solidarity of the union with other parts of the UK, nor the ability to redistribute between richer and poorer areas. It is only the nationalists with their desire to break up the UK, and the Tories who want to undermine public services, that would proceed to major new powers without a full analysis and very careful consideration.
