  1. Oh dear, this isn’t good news.

    Trouble is Labour has lost the hearts and minds of a lot of traditional working class communities and much like Trump in the US Reform is filling that gap with populist politics that propse easy ‘solutions’ to difficult problems.

  2. Fucking hell that’s next door to my county. The Nazi’s have arrived right on my damn doorstep.

  3. This is what wishy washy policies get you. Why can’t Labour see that? They offer people nothing radically different from the Tories.

  4. Omg I fucking moved here to get away from these scum.

    Wales, Stop! Let’s not do another Brexit!

  5. Key take-away from this is to go and vote. Every single election, local or national, go and bloody vote.

    No excuses. Make the time. Get involved. Because cunts like this thrive on public apathy and they will wheedle their tiny dicks into every bored angry uneducated and/or bitter person they can find and those people will always turn up to the booths with Daily Mail in hand.

  6. If only our media called out reform as a English party that’s run by the 1%.

  7. I hate how pathetic Wales is going to look in the next few years because I fear we are going to have a few reform seats. Literally, an English nationalist party. Fucking embarrassment.

  8. Wales voting for Thatcherism. Never thought I’d see the day. My working class Welsh family won’t even touch Reform because of it.

  9. Tony Clark – Plaid 25
    Catherine Howells – Independent 117
    Stuart Keyte – Reform UK 457
    Toniann Phillips – Welsh Labour 259
    Louise Sheppard – Independent 114

    The turnout was 24.7%

    That’s a shocking turnout no wonder the seat was won by less than five hundred chuds

    GO AND VOTE PEOPLE, Plaid, Labour, Lib Dem I don’t care which of the valid parties you support, spend the ten minutes once every couple of years

  10. 24% turnout but the media loves to run these stories like it’s indicative of something larger. This is a non-story.

  11. I get stick from people for voting Plaid in local elections, but at least I’m not voting in English nationalists.

    Despicable.

  12. Low turnouts and ineffective Labour ,while Reform rile up the locals into believing they actually care about them hopefully this doesn’t happen in the general election or were all fucked

  13. In a completely unrelated topic, anyone know which countries are keen on skilled Welsh expats? This country is quickly wearing me down.

  14. His first official act is to cut the ribbon on Woolworths.

  15. Literally the only positive I can think about this is that it might hopefully snap people out of the “it couldn’t happen here” myth. Stop imagining it’s all happening over in Trump’s nasty America or Brexity England but could never happen in Wales. It absolutely can happen here and it is happening here, and it’s bloody terrifying.

  16. You don’t want this insanity, I promise.

    Signed, an American who lives in Wales

  17. People vote reform because they want the Trump chaos and are sick of democracy.

  18. If Reform is the answer then I’d hate to know what the question is!?

  19. People are so easily confused. They see reform they think better things, instead of looking into policy or what the reform parties leaders have been doing behind closed doors. America should be a cautionary tale, but no one wants to see any of that. We live in the dumbest time, when we should be living in the smartest one.

  20. After we saw some of the partially sentient vegetables explaining why they voted for Brexit (“they closed the public toilets” ffs Merthyr), ppl with the IQ of spoons will drag this country down into hell.
    Yes, ppl are allowed to vote for them, without any critical thinking or checking if their policies fit into a Better Wales but they’re f****** Tories but with less morals (imo)

  21. People in Wales are turning to Reform UK because they feel let down by decades of Labour rule, which has left public services struggling, taxes rising, and communities ignored.

    Reform offers a fresh alternative, standing for lower taxation, controlled immigration, and an end to wasteful government spending. The mainstream parties have taken Welsh voters for granted for too long, and it’s time for real change!

    Instead of dismissing Reform UK, we should ask why so many people feel the need to vote for them in the first place. Clearly, something isn’t working.
