Now heβs back with a Reform badge, Farageβs talking points, and questions about where he lives.
This isnβt #Welsh leadership. Itβs political franchising.

Winning is one thing. Earning trust and then honouring it from day one is another.

βJust stop immigrationβ would make Wales smaller, older and poorer.
Wales already has more deaths than births.
Migration is what keeps the population stable.
Remove it and the workforce shrinks demand explodes.

Warnings of another Aberfan must come with action β the safety of our communities is Westminsterβs duty | Parliament Politics Magazine
Coalmining has defined the south Wales valleys for centuries, with towns and villages built on pride, community and hard work by generation after generation.
Coal mining shaped the south Wales valleys but it also left a dangerous legacy.
Abandoned coal tips still threaten our communities, as shown by recent landslides.
The UK Government must commit to fully funding remediation work.
