  2. Guess he’s found his next deprived, under funded and ignored population to exploit.

  3. Farage couldn’t give a shit about Wales he would do less then Labour and that’s saying something. Remember this is a man who after decades of being anti EU, tried to then get an EU passport after the UK left.

  4. The man’s a grifter and a creep, I hope my country doesn’t fall for his bullshit.

  5. Nigel Farage doesn’t even make his own constituency his biggest priority.

    That said, reform are a real threat politically. Labour and Plaid need to start offering more to voters. Can’t rest on their laurels. I don’t have high hopes of them stepping up to the challenge though

  6. Look what happened in America. A far right nut job came along and blamed foreigners for the bad things and promised them everything without anything to back the claims up.

    And instead of sending him packing (again) with what should have been an easy landslide the left let perfect be the enemy of the good and many, many millions of them stayed home.

    We have been warned.

  7. >When asked during interviews for any names of who could be a leader in Wales, or any policies they would have in any manifesto, he would not answer.

    He has no plan, he is a grifter, and his racist party has no place in Wales.

  8. Please ignore Wales like the rest of the English Nigel.

  9. No thank you. We don’t want or need Nigel Farage!

    He can cosy up with Trump and leave Wales the f**k alone!

  10. I mean he’d have us all gassed for more English weekend homes if he thought his southern English power base wanted it.

  11. Farage is a grifter, he’s visited trump in America almost as many times as he’s visited Clacton since becoming its MP.

    Only a thick person would take him at his word, reform works for Nige, not for Wales or the UK.

  12. I’m Scottish but I’m going to be honest with you guys. We’ll end up like America if the current government doesn’t address the people’s issues and that means people from all political spectrums.

    As much as I don’t like the guy. If Nigel says he’ll fight to fix the people’s issues people will vote for him. Unless labour fixes the peoples issues, I regret to say someone like Nigel will be our next PM if we don’t see British citizens be prioritised and their lives improved.

    I didn’t want to admit this but looking at America has changed my perspective…

  14. The benefits of PR coming home to roost.

    It would be nice for Labour’s grip to be broken though, being a one party state isn’t a good thing.

  15. He can’t even make Clacton a priority.

    Why on Earth would Wales want his involvement (or that of his far-right accomplices)?

  16. Probably a misquote and he wants to bring back whaling

  17. Farage and Reform are populists highlighting and weaponising peoples’ real concerns, people who feel they have been ignored, who have seen their communities deteriorate, and probably have some sort of justification for their dissatisfaction with the political establishment.

    I think they’ll get quite a few seats in 2026, as it stands I’d maybe expect third largest party in the Senedd. This might sound disastrous to some but realistically it’s healthy for democracy and will hopefully make Labour, in particular, realise they can’t continuously rely on people’s votes and not address their issues.

  19. We really need to learn from America. We all sit on Reddit fully aware that Farage is a big pile of talking bullshit, but if Labour/ plaid aren’t offering anything as attractive as the lying bullshit, that lying bullshit spout will be named PM before long.

    Please, parties on the left, learn the lessons and start offering real solutions and good PR. Populism is its own PR.

  20. It’s funny seeing reform try to appeal to wales, when we all know they couldn’t give a shit about wales, and would sell them down the road if it ment making England happy

    Like I’ve said for years, it’s fucking time we kick all Anglo centric parties out of wales, any party that cares more about Westminster than wales, we need parties that care about wales first and foremost

  21. God, how I wish this gobshite would go away. Hasn’t he done enough damage to the uk?

  22. They have nothing that is uniquely Welsh about them, nor do they offer anything to Wales in particular. They’re going to use Wales to further their UK ambitions. That’s it. Wales is unimportant to them in every way other than that they can win seats. Anything that is uniquely Welsh will be sidelined in favour of their UK goals. They’ll use the Senedd as a place to gain publicity and air time.

    At least the Welsh Tories and Labour pretend to care.

    They have no policies for the Senedd, no Welsh leader, no party structure. They are a danger to Wales and Welshness. They have insanely wealthy mega donors and a media falling over itself to advertise them at every single opportunity.

    Farage is a Putin sympathiser. Nothing good will come of Reform UK, not for the UK and certainly not for Wales.

    I’m going to vote for Plaid Cymru in the 2026 election. Wales has no need of Reform UK, which is hostile to the NHS and wants to increase privatisation, is hostile to renewable energy sources and wants to increase gas use from fracking, and even wants to bring back fox hunting.

    They have no policies on how to help foster Welsh culture, or the Welsh language, and do not care about the uniqueness of Wales at all. We’re a tool to them, one which will be used until it’s no longer useful.

    Whatever you think of Reform at the UK level, they are absolutely not appropriate to run Wales.

  23. Why on earth would Nigel Farage honestly care about Wales?

  24. It’s crystal clear at this point Reform will be unstoppable at taking power in the UK. Not a fan, but people are broke, angry and done with Labour and Tories telling them the economy needs more effort, more sacrifice, worse services, higher food prices. Liberal democracy is completely finished. The economy is broken. The people want someone to blame. Buckle up. This situation will be extremely ugly for anyone in the crosshair of ECHR/Equality Act/Abortion Act/Murder Act. 

  25. Saying it here, reform will get a minimum of 12 seats

  26. He’s recognised the growing nationalism in young people and moving to capitalise on it.

  27. Wales needs to be free of the English elite, not kowtowing to it. Farage is everything the Welsh hate about the English.

  28. If Reform got in we could say goodbye to devolution, they’d make Wales ‘West England’

  29. I don’t know how anyone in Wales that votes for Nigel’s party doesn’t realise that he doesn’t give a flying eff about Wales. He’s only in it for himself, and himself alone. The only people who will vote for him are the bigoted and disenchanted.

    Not only that, he’s an asset for Russia and Putin, also he’s rather chummy with Trump, which I fear if Reform get in, they’ll end up echoing the same policies as Trump is.  Which the notion of that is truly terrifying to me, I can also attest to his political beliefs being what lit the powder keg for the riots that happened in the summer.

    So, yes, when I am going to vote in 2026, I will vote Plaid, Greens or Lib Dems.

  30. Lol the only ‘biggest priority’ for Nigel Farage is Nigel Farage
