Fantastic news. This election has been amazing to see the blues get washed out tbh.
Epic result.
Thank you to everyone who went out and voted and convinced others to vote so that we could see this beautiful day.
You love to see it

Saw the map on sky. Wales is now Green and Red! No. Blue anywhere
So proud.
Did Welsh farmers vote tory here? Also why do welsh farmers vote conservative?
Hwyl fawr!
Hwyl! Proud of Wales today.
It’s been a long 14 years filled with scandal after scandal. Feels good to wake up this morning knowing there’s a degree of stability (let’s hope!) and my kids won’t be thrust into national service 😂
Fucking awesome. Llongyfarchiadau i bobol Cymru!
You love to see it.
We shouldn’t get too comfortable or too confudent. 400+ seats with roughly the same no of votes as when we only won 200+ seats in 2019. Also on the rise, albeit small atm is voting along ethno-religious lines which cannot be a good thing for anyone.
The turnout was pretry dire and it was officially the worst election in history for representation according to the Guardian.
Plaid Cymru increased it’s vote in every single seat that it contested.
Llanelli nearly went Reform. Eeek
The scary thing across a lot of seats is reform’s numbers and that toad Farrage has won a seat. Labour better not fuck this up.
I was feeling quite apathetic about this vote, almost couldn’t be bothered. Then I happened to see some of the stuff Andrew RT Davies was saying.
He was an excellent spokesperson to get people out to vote for Labour.
It’s just a shame that his terrible party leadership means that Welsh Labour can afford to be lazy in the Welsh Government, they have no competent opposition, which is something we really need.
Good.
This election sends a strong message to all political parties.
Winning an election does not put you in power to do whatever you want. Winning an election gives you the opportunity to serve the electorate and do the right thing by them. If you steal, lie or otherwise abuse your position you will lose, and lose badly.
The Tories have been taught a lesson by the UK as a whole and I’m glad and proud they’ve been wiped out here in Cymru. It boggles my mind that anybody could vote for them at all after the past 14 years of failure.
I hope all parties now understand their position and behave accordingly from this day on. If they don’t, they face being wiped out.
This makes me caled
That is great news, but it shows what a ridiculous voting system we have when the only reason we have the most left wing government in decades is because of a huge rise in far right fascism splitting the Tory vote.
I don’t trust Keir Starmer’s Labour to enact enough change to curb this rise. Just look at the US under Biden with Trump coming back next year. If the trend continues, we’re either looking at the Tories moving further right to appease these voters or Reform becoming a future opposition party.
I was thrilled to see the Welsh map, and I am so pleased that Sunak is out. Labour better not mess it up and lose the confidence of their new voters. Sadly, Starmer does not fill me with confidence on this. :/
..when I saw the Brecon and Radnor MP openly moaning in the media..
“Oh it is no fun knocking on doors as a Tory MP”..
Well face the reality? As a politician you’re judged on accomplishments? Don’t wait till 1-2 days before the election to get vocal?
Don’t play the “feel sorry for me card” ..
Aim to be a politician that delivers on promises for your voters? Fight for what you promised??
.. then next time you go campaigning the only complaint will be ..
“I lost so much time knocking doors – because everyone opened theirs .. and some even offered coffee”
You (as an MP) are paid generously .. not an easy job by any means.. but your rear is in the firing line if you don’t deliver..
And I am “sorry” Mrs Jones – the amount of times you voted against your voters’ interest cost you. Simple as.
Grown men on TikTok in shambles that Reform haven’t taken over like the app told them it would
YEEEEEES!!!
You beautiful, beautiful people 🏴 🥰
Good riddance ! 😁
Who hooo !
They still won too many seats. But at least reform only got 4
Will the reform bots stop now?
People seem to being going on about Reform’s large percentage of votes and so on.
I reckon Farage will hate being an MP – he’ll have to deal with constituents, be present in Parliament and so on (where he’ll be out of his depth). He’ll make an arse of himself. Come the next general election people will have gone back to voting Tory and Labour (both of which will have a good look at themselves) and we won’t hear much about Reform, who to be honest only went in on the issue of boats and taxes.
