Nigel Farage has turned his attention to next May’s Senedd elections following Reform UK’s defeat in the Caerphilly by-election. Despite expectations that Reform might take the seat, Plaid Cymru’s Lindsay Whittle secured victory, pushing Reform’s Llyr Powell into second place. Mr Whittle won 47% of the vote, with Mr Powell trailing on 36%, while Labour, historically dominant in the constituency, came a distant third with just 3,713 votes.

Mr Farage suggested that Labour’s significant loss of support to Plaid Cymru had contributed to Reform’s failure to win. “At the start of polling day, I thought we would get 12,000 votes, and we did. I thought that number would be enough, but it wasn’t,” he said. He added that the collapse of the Labour vote to a well-known local politician was decisive. Reform UK Wales described the result as a “historic realignment” and promised to contest next year’s election vigorously.
a new party can have a surge in popularity. until they win council seats as they did in lancashire, and the population sees what a bunch of losers they are! a good protest vote for whatever you do don't elect them!
Caerphillyhas demonstrated the uk antipathy building towards Reform . and is increasingly viewed as racist and unelectable. Lindsay Whittle I stood unsuccessfully that council seat 13 times! farage has declared that any similarity between Senedd and Senecot is incidental. they are a minor party of the sewage vote!
get regular bowel motions! vote reform with a vengeance. the opinions expressive of are my own! and I'm not shared by any other party. the reform thinks all publicity is good publicity.
