This week highlighted a real problem with free-speech in the Welsh Parliament. When you have the Presiding Officer telling elected members they can't use language 'that has the potential to inflame debate', you don't have debate at all. Parliaments are exactly where difficult debates should be had, but these restrictive rules stifle such arguments, forcing Senedd Members to be silent on the issues that they were voted in for. Mark my words, Reform will always fight for free-speech. If that means some of us are kicked out of the Chamber for doing so, so be it.

Will Hayward suggests that because I hold shares in Phillips 66, I have a financial interest in scrapping Net Zero. Ten minutes of real research tells a different story. In June 2019, the month the UK's Net Zero target was announced and then passed into law, the share price didn't fall. It rose by 14%. Whatever investors were reacting to, it plainly wasn't fear of Net Zero. Furthermore, the company has invested in developing the UK's Humber Zero project, one of the world's largest planned carbon capture schemes, part-funded by government decarbonisation money and needing more of it to go ahead. On Will's own logic, my shares would do better if Net Zero stayed. And yet I want it gone. I will always call for this economy-destroying target to be scrapped. It is killing British industry and loading some of the most expensive energy prices in the world onto hard-working families. If people want to scrutinise my interests, good. But start with doing proper research.

We’re calling on the Welsh Government to put the people of Wales first. Step one: End the Nation of Sanctuary policy.

Transparency will always be a key aspect of Reform’s politics. Unlike the other parties, we will not hide the plush lifestyle that politicians within the Senedd have enjoyed for decades. Why should politicians not have to work in the same conditions they have created for our teachers and nurses?

The Reform mindset on cost efficiencies and respecting taxpayer money will be critical in improving our public services and lowering taxes. And it starts with highlighting the small stuff. Helping to build a culture in Wales where every decision-maker in public institutions thinks twice before spending your money. I enjoyed raising this point on BBC Wales Politics this morning.

Let’s get more roads in Cardiff back to a common sense speed limit.
