Reform in Wales would be a disaster.

They have no policies or knowledge, when asked Farage mentioned reopening coal mines and steel works and starting fracking. Stereotypical rich man asset stripping the poorer country.

He just wants to use Wales - he does not care about Wales or anyone in it.

In the UK the media are happy to fluff Farage and his minions because he sells clicks. But they choose not to wonder if, once they've helped him into power, he'll muzzle them.
He will.

Investigative journalism is dead.

Though many will claim otherwise, an honest autopsy will show it was suicide.

Dear people of the U.K. (ostensibly England and Wales)

Until you realise this country is fucked because of 14 years of terrible mismanagement in every way by the Tories….

You will end up with Reform U.K. Ltd (Tories on crack) running this country.

And you think it’s bad now?!

This'll turn into a B Johnson special:

I've met him but didn't discuss anything with him.

I chatted with him but it wasn't anything important.

Ok, it was about national security but nothing illegal.

Im sorry for what I've done

Jane @localnotail.bsky.social · 1d

Either Zia Yusuf has been lying to the British public or he's been used as a patsy to cover for the Reform UK leaders who absolutely know who Nathan Gill is.

"I've never spoken to him, most people in the senior leadership team have never really heard of the guy." 😬

It is inconceivable that there are no skeletons in Farage's closet of a magnitude that would destroy him (perhaps via prison) and Reform.
But the secret services and media, who must know a thing or two, say nothing.

I would like to see Zack, Labour and the LDs keep up this questioning of Farage until the media feel compelled to follow it up.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 21h

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

It may just be me, but I'm sensing a bit of 'fight back' positivity on here today. Americans are turning on Trump (even the Loomer loony). And Zack Polanski and the traitorous Gillski issue has initiated a much warranted scrutiny of Reform's bullshit hypocrisy.

They need to take a leaf out of Zack Polanski's book. Stop playing the game by the rules Reform have created and start calling them what they are. Make Reform have to fight / whinge on multiple fronts.

Paul Singh @paulsingh.bsky.social · 2d

Labour need to shouting this from the roof tops.

They need to be challenging Farage over his multiple jobs.
They need to be challenging Reform over their tex exile donor base.
They need to be challenging Reform policies at every opportunity.

And this is the real issue.

It’s always been about power and control. The WRU have run the game into the ground and frequently blamed others.

A model of greater independent financial stability for the pro game would be perceived as a threat, it’s why benefactors were initially chased out

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Gwladrugby 🏉 @gwladrugby.bsky.social · 2d

Short answer - because joining the english system would take away a lot of the WRU's control. Control that they quite clearly want to increase, not reduce. The WRU's "optimal solution" involves them controlling pretty much everything related to playing matters...
