All of the results in Wales are now in. Plaid Cymru finishes as the largest party, with Rhun ap Iorwerth set to become the new First Minister. Reform leader Dan Thomas will become Leader of the Opposition. His party had no MSs at all before today. Labour and the Conservatives have both collapsed, with the Greens and LibDems just scraping in. #ukpoli #Election2026 #Etholiad2026 #Senedd

How to tell everyone you're stupid. "A Reform UK Senedd election candidate has been mocked after blasting Wales’ 20mph “blanket” speed limit while filming a campaign video on a road with a 50mph limit. Catherine Cullen – Reform’s second place candidate in Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni – disabled commenting on the video she posted to Facebook on Sunday (April 26) after facing ridicule from social media users." #Senedd #Elections2026 #ReformUK

Not a good night for (at least) one candidate at #Senedd hustings in #Talgarth, #Powys. "Audience members laughed when the Senedd hopeful said she wanted Wales’ parliament abolished, and later booed as she made a series of contentious claims, including suggesting that women in Wales were resorting to backstreet abortions and that three-year-olds were being taught to masturbate in schools." #Elections2026

History does not happen in nice, neat chronological sequences. It's also subject to two other major factors: 1) new evidence of what happened being discovered; and 2) interpretation. Politics doesn't come with much more ignorance than it does from the #Farage 🐸 #Fascist Fan Club. #Senedd #Elections2026 #UK_Politics

Martin Shipton The Welsh Conservatives have struggled to field a full list of candidates for next month’s Senedd election – and in some cases has had to import them from other parts of Wales. Under the new arrangements, six Senedd Members will be elected from each of the 16 new “super-constituencies” into which Wales has […]
