Kernow - The battle for Devolution and the UK's fifth Nation

Kernow – The battle for Devolution and the UK’s fifth Nation in respect of Cornwall has come into greater focus from the start of 2025. On this page Celtic Nation Kernow will be sharing information from reputable sources. The information will be in a pdf format so it can be downloaded read and shared, but also links to the original site will be available.

This is a battle for Cornwall's future and its opportunities to control our own agenda without the constant threat of Cornwall being subsumed into a greater 'South West England' entity. Should that happen Cornwall's history, cultural heritage and identity of the Cornish people would be eroded and ultimately lost.

Today in the House of Commons, I outlined the case for a Cornwall-only devolution deal that respects our National Minority Status (which we would lose under Reform’s policy btw) and does not involve a combined authority with Devon. Over coming weeks and months I will work with colleagues to try to amend the English Devolution Bill to ensure that powers and funding are devolved to Cornwall and not diluted in a Devonwall arrangement.
