According to Andrew Nutt, Nigel Farage presents himself as a lesser version of Donald Trump.

Let us now consider Rhun ap Iorwerth, who heads Plaid Cymru and advocates for opposing Reform UK, similar to the stance taken by the Green Party. He leads a political party that has backed Labour and shares accountability for Wales’ troubling situation in 2026.

The National Health Service continues to decline, education struggles, and public services falter, while enormous amounts of public money have been wasted during twenty-five years of Labour administration.

The word frequently appearing in political discussion these days is division.

We should ask how Plaid Cymru can justify its position that breaking up the United Kingdom and creating an independent Wales would harm our previously thriving nation while simultaneously embracing the notion of divisiveness.

Plaid Cymru’s leader actually suggested Reform would damage Wales for years—an extraordinary claim. Plaid Cymru itself would harm Wales for generations, given the fundamental nature of their beliefs.

Therefore, for Plaid Cymru, concerns about uncontrolled and unlawful immigration simply do not exist, they are perfectly content with the 20mph speed restriction, and they display no drive to revive Wales’ former economic prosperity.

Another quarter-century of stagnation, hiding from Reform.

Back a party that presents real solutions, even if Rhun ap Iorwerth does not even rate as a cut-price alternative.
