Nigel Farage is clearly hoping voters' unhappiness with the UK government will pay dividends for Reform in the Welsh parliament elections in May. He was in Newport today to unveil the party's Welsh leader - a former London Tory councillor. Dan Thomas, who grew up in the Welsh valleys, described the elections as the last chance for Wales. He also repeated Reform's commitment to abolish Labour’s controversial default 20 miles per hour speed limit.

Welsh Liberal Democrats Leader speaking here has no idea on anything - and no idea what the Welsh Budget is. She is the individual that got Greyhound Racing banned in Wales. Also failed to turn up for key votes. The definition of stealing a living.

.Nigel Farage MP, you need to clear this up, and fast. When discussing the Reform UK Wales Reform UK policy on priority housing for the Welsh. You were asked to define a Welsh person. Your reply was “somebody who has lived and is settled in Wales, has paid taxes and obeyed the law for a 5 or 10 year period” ??

An impressive debut from Reform's Reform UK Wales Josh Kim in the Welsh Senedd. He was South Korean born & objects to Wales being a Nation of Santuary for migrants. As a supply teacher he dealt with a migrant who has lid about his age. He said: "I'm a citizen first, an immigrant second. As a citizen, I want what is best for this country, and putting citizens first is in the best interest of this country."

It is disappointing that Andy Burnham has ruled out reviewing Wales’s funding formula, despite previously supporting it. I have always been clear that the respect agenda must work both ways. This Welsh Government will never let the UK Government take Wales for granted 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Wales Green Party launched its Senedd Election manifesto in Port Talbot today One of their seven key priorities: 'Universal childcare for children aged 9 months to 4 years' There's been a big focus on the affordability of pledges by the parties here I asked the party's Welsh leader Anthony Slaughter how much their childcare offer would cost... #c4news

But after a century of holding power in Wales, the party has fallen on hard times. Ahead of the Senedd elections, Aaron Bastani heads to Merthyr Tydfil and Cardiff to find out why Wales has turned against Labour. Watch our full report from Wales on our YouTube channel now.

Senior Tory can't name his party's leader in Wales during embarrassing GB News interview... This Conservative politician was asked 6 times who the Welsh leader of his party is and he couldn't remember. (It's Darren Millar and he has been in the role for almost a year...)

A new poll has just dropped for Wales and it is fascinating. First Minister Eluned Morgan is expected to lose her seat while Reform have increased their vote share compared to previous polls. Plaid will be the largest party and, alongside the Greens, would command a majority in the Senedd. The Lib Dems would be totally wiped out under these results and the Welsh Tories would be down to just one MS. Let’s break down the details… This poll is by YouGov for ITV Wales in partnership with Cardiff University and has applied the latest MRP modelling to offer a predicted breakdown of how many seats each party will win in each of the 16 new constituencies. This is the breakdown of the vote percentage and how much it has changed compared to the last poll: Senedd voting intention: Plaid Cymru - 33 (-4) Reform UK - 27 (+4) Welsh Labour - 13 (+3) Wales Green Party - 12 (-1) Welsh Conservatives - 7 (-3) Welsh Liberal Democrats - 5 (n/c) What would this mean in terms of seats? In terms of the 96 seats in the Senedd these results would leave the new Welsh Parliament like this: Plaid Cymru - 43 seats Reform UK - 30 Welsh Labour - 12 Wales Green Party - 10 Welsh Conservatives - 1

Another School lockdown today in Wales. This time, Ysgol Pen Rhos in Plaid Cymru run Carmarthenshire. Our kids are being traumatised on the alter of multiculturalism! This has been happening for 3 years in Wales, this is not a new thing. The Labour & Plaid partnership has to go. Nigel Farage MP has vowed to end the Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 & Welsh Labour Nation Of Sanctuary project! Vote them out come May 2026. Sorry for the rant!

Here are 3 ways that the current system screws over Wales. If politicians are not talking about these issues, they are not serious about fixing Wales' problems. ---------- 1. The Welsh Gov has less borrowing powers than a council. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Wales can only borrow £150m a year (and £1bn in total). That is the equivalent of just 0.57% of our budget. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland can borrow £450m a year (and £3bn in total). This makes it really hard for Wales to make big investments like building hospitals and schools unless we use super expensive funding models like PFI. The worst thing is, Scotland's borrowing rates have increased with inflation every year since 2016 whereas Wales' have been frozen! ---------- 2. Wales’ can’t even spend its own money If Wales makes good financial decisions and has money left at the end of the year, it is only allowed to carry over a very small amount. The total the Welsh Government can have in the reserve is £350m. While that might sound like a lot, it really isn’t in a government context. The Welsh Government’s budget is £27bn. This means that the Welsh reserve is just 1.35% of its budget. And that £350m isn’t per year, that is the total it can carry. This means that if the Welsh Government reserve is full, then any money that isn’t spent is just taken back by the Treasury in Westminster. What makes this system even worse is that the UK Treasury has imposed limits on how much of its own reserves Wales can even use! Of the £350m Wales can only access £175m a year. Scotland has a reserve of £700m AND it has no limit on how much of that it can spend. Plus yet again, Scotland’s was linked to inflation whereas Wales’ wasn’t. There is simply no justification for Wales being treated differently to Scotland. The UK Government isn’t able to get away with treating Scotland like Wales because the Scots wouldn’t stand for it. ---------- 3. Rail Because rail is devolved in Scotland, when the UK Government spends money in England on rail, Scotland gets extra cash. Scotland gets billions of pounds in extra funding because of HS2 (which is only in England). But because rail isn’t devolved to Wales, the Treasury can class HS2 as an “England and Wales project” meaning Wales gets nothing. It is worse than that. Because HS2 is counted as a Welsh project, it stops Wales getting extra money in the future because on the spreadsheet it looks like Wales has already had investment (even though it all went to England). ---------- You could have the best politicians in the world in Cardiff Bay but they still couldn’t fix Wales’ problems because the tools at their disposal are not fit for purpose. The challenges Wales faces are not because of immigrants, they are because the system of funding we have is set up so that we can’t fail to fail.
