UK devolved leaders meet in Cardiff, assert self-determination push

The nationalist first ministers of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland met in Cardiff for the first time, issuing a joint statement that 'Westminster's time is coming to an end' and asserting a right to self-determination. This marks a coordinated escalation in independence movements across the UK's devolved nations, though it remains largely symbolic without referendums or legal mandates. The meeting signals growing political fragmentation within the UK, but immediate constitutional change is unlikely.
