Everyone at Mebyon Kernow is extremely saddened to learn that prominent Cornish-Australian Chris Dunkerley has passed away.

Chris was active in the Cornish Association of South Australia and the Cornish Association of New South Wales, as well as the Celtic Council of Australia. He also learnt the Cornish language and was barded by proxy at Poldhu in 1988, and took the bardic name Kevrenor “builder of links.”

Devolving justice is ‘common sense’ solution to ‘disappointing’ state of justice system in Wales.

Mebyon Kernow – the Party for Cornwall has responded to an ONS (Office for National Statistics) consultation relating to the 2031 Census, in which we have demanded a Cornish nationality tick-box. 

Scotland’s First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney pays tribute to Jeane Freeman:

"Jeane devoted her life to serving the public, and I am shocked and saddened at her death".
