I get why people are sharing this, but honestly it feels a bit overblown.
It’s a handful of private chat messages from one local branch. Anyone who’s ever been in a WhatsApp group knows people say dumb stuff, make jokes in bad taste, or share things without thinking. That doesn’t mean it’s party policy or that the whole movement is tied to the far right.
The article only shows redacted screenshots, so we’re basically being asked to trust the outlet’s framing without seeing the full context?? And linking to content from Voice of Wales doesn’t automatically mean endorsement… people share stuff they disagree with all the time.
Reform’s central position is clear: no association with Tommy Robinson or groups like that. If a few individuals broke that, that’s on them, not the party as a whole. Until there’s evidence of Reform leadership actively working with these groups, this just looks like a smear trying to paint the entire party with the brush of a few loose cannons

Wait.. so reform isn’t the far right group? There’s more than one?
don’t think a website that runs flattering press for White Eagle gets to lecture on dodgy connections
That is so shocking 😲. I will need 3-5 buisness days to process this news.
What on earth could Reform possibly have in common with a far-right group? I’m at a complete loss. No, really I am.
The call is coming from inside the house
Well, wouldn’t you guess who won the pony!
r/Wales, just a pointless little echo chamber.
You’ll never see it coming. Like Brexit and Trump can’t happen, you’ll pretend you are the majority until you wake up to another shocking loss.
Would the concerns be summed up in the phrase “Does the pope shit in the woods”?

Reform and Far Right Group?
Why does the headline mention Reform Wales twice?

Ya don’t say…
