A shocking new poll suggests Nigel Farage’s Reform UK could win the most seats in next year’s Welsh elections, potentially ending Labour’s 26-year grip on power! 📊

The Sky News poll puts Reform on 28%, ahead of Plaid Cymru (26%) and Labour (23%).

First Minister Eluned Morgan warned voters that Reform poses a “very serious threat” to Welsh services, saying: “Things that they’re used to such as free prescriptions and free school meals for primary school children could be snatched away.”

When asked about a potential coalition with Reform, the First Minister was blunt: “I wouldn’t touch Reform with a bargepole.”

Morgan insisted Labour would fight back by being “authentic” rather than trying to “out-Reform Reform”, adding: “We’re about bringing communities together, not dividing them, and I do think that what Reform is interested in is dividing people.”
