There’s going to be a lot more of this, even if Labour pulls its head out of its arse, which it won’t.

God bothering and reform. F*****g Jesus Christ.

I'd be interested to hear how someone so invested in religion squares those beliefs with Reform's right-wing policies, would seem a difficult needle to thread to me.

I'm surprised Reform supporters haven't told her to go back home

Plaid is the only hope for Wales. Hopefully people will vote as per the recent poll results.

Labour are a busted flush and a wasted vote.

How a Welshman or woman can put an x in the Reform box is unbelievable.

That’s easy, both are pie in the sky nonsense.

As John Mac would say ‘You can’t be serious man’

Plaid are just as much a waste of space as Labour.

I typed out a long reply to you, but you know what, I cannot be arsed. Sometimes you’ve just got to admit that it just isn’t worth it.

Cast your vote next year for whichever party is best placed to beat Reform and/or the Tories. Worked a treat in the U.K. election last year. Britain (and Wales/Scotland especially) has and always has had a a centre/centre left majority. The problem has always been that vote has split between two, three and sometimes four parties depending on where you live. Now and for the first time the right wing vote that the Tories always relied on from their army of sheep voters has some competition. No party has ever won a majority in the Senedd. But imagine waking up on 8 May next year to find Wales has committed national suicide by allowing Reform some kind of influence in the next government. An absolute catastrophe.

This tweet thread is a perfect example of why voting for an English party in Wales is very silly. Relying on crumbs from their table.

It will be a catastrophe for our mother tongue language too.

Ohh never mind, I bet it was really enthralling as well.

Don’t worry about it Nj, but mark my words Plaid would be a disaster for Wales, I’m pretty astute when it comes to things like this. I called what’s currently happening with the Labour Party in the Uk, before they’d even won last years election.

Anyway I think the way things are going, the next senedd election will be an absolute landslide for reform, I won’t be voting for them, I’d rather give the tories a bash in Wales.

I'm working tonight so can't have a slurp until tomorrow evening, gutted.

It’s a tricky one. I reckon the first past the post system could end up being a disaster for the UK. If the majority of the population don’t support Reform then surely the system shoud be changed?

That doesn't make sense? If Reform get in next election ( which they will!) surely that would the majority of the population are in support of them?

Unfortunately, I think it is inevitable that Reform will get the majority in the forthcoming years, in the Senedd and also Westminster. And I think the main reason is, that the majority do not like the other parties.

I suppose for the proper political analysts what is happening now, is unbelievable. Many years of Tory power, and Labour were supposed to be a breath of fresh air, but it's been hardly a year since the General Election, and it seems no big secret that Labour are already done and dusted, and Reform will get in next Election.

Surely Starmer, Reeves, Raynor have to go.. Bit like football this..
