In the House of Commons, the Prime Minister says he recognises Cornish national minority status, and wishes the people of Cornwall a happy St Piran’s Day. Gool Peran Lowen!

It was never going to happen with a Lib Dem amendment in the Lords. Cornwall’s MPs should have demanded specific mention of Cornwall in the bill from the start. If they believed ministers’ empty promises of a bespoke deal then that’s on them.

So Cornwall has to make cuts to essential services but we can still send £108 million to Pakistan to “support their green growth ambitions”? Make it make sense

Today is St Piran’s Day, Cornwall’s national day. Gool Peran Lowen! Gool Peran Lowen dhe bubonan yn Kernow hag a-dro dhe’n bys! Wishing everyone in the UK’s fifth nation and lovers of all things Cornish a very Happy St Piran’s Day! #StPiransDay #GoolPeranLowen

The government announces a national emergency when 16,000 homes in the South East have no water. But when 50,000 homes in Cornwall are affected by the worst storm in years, they are silent. Yet another reason why Cornwall needs more devolution now. falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/25…

Bledhen Nowydh Da (Happy New Year) to everyone in the nation of Cornwall and around the world! 2025 was a year of promises of greater recognition of Cornish nationhood. Let’s make 2026 a year of concrete action!

🚨🚨 Huge news for Cornwall! After months of pressing Ministers, the Government has offered a bespoke devolution deal that respects our national minority status, with NO joint authority with Devon - and hopefully no requirement for a directly elected mayor.

After years of hard work, the Cornish language will be given Part Three status, meaning it will be recognised and protected at the same level as Welsh, Scottish and Irish Gaelic!

A Labour MP has said he cannot support his party’s flagship devolution Bill as its proposals could create an ‘unholy alliance’ between Cornwall and Devon wp.me/p8Mk4U-19r3

You know the campaign for national recognition is making an impact when @CornwallLive starts using the issue to troll its readers for engagement 〓〓

Leaving the ECHR means leaving the Council of Europe. We will lose Cornish national minority status. Labour MPs are in power NOW - they must write our national status into UK law while they can, with a Cornish National Minority Bill. Or it’ll be their fault as much as Kemi’s.

Labour “South West”. It’s no wonder Labour is so clueless when it comes to Cornwall - to them we’re just part of a South West region, nothing more. Why would we trust them to stand up for Cornish nationhood when they won’t even recognise it themselves?

Cornwall's right to devolution comes from our national minority status, but if anyone suggests Cornwall is too small, tell them to buy an atlas. Other countries have areas of a similar size to Cornwall, with their own parliaments or assemblies and wide-ranging powers.

Forcing a national minority to merge into a wider area is undemocratic. Services, jobs and money would be centralised in Devon. A Devonwall mayor would largely answer to the needs of Devon. We have the right to equal treatment with other UK nations.

“The parties shall refrain from policies or practices aimed at assimilation of persons belonging to national minorities against their will.” —Article 5, Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities The UK government is not meeting its treaty obligations. By forcing Cornwall to merge with Devon, it is enabling the assimilation of Cornwall into a regional structure in which the Cornish will be marginalised, it is acting against the expressed wishes of the Cornish national minority, and it is discriminating against the Cornish by denying us equal treatment with other national minorities.
