Reform UK’s rise is sending shockwaves through Welsh and UK politics — and the impact is already being felt in the Senedd.
In this episode of Senedd Sources, the panel discusses how recent political turmoil in Westminster, including leadership uncertainty and shifting alliances, is reshaping the balance of power in Wales.
With a new Prime Minister on the horizon, questions are mounting about the future of devolution, how Cardiff Bay will respond, and whether traditional party politics in Wales is being fundamentally rewritten.
The conversation also explores:
- The growing influence of Reform UK in Welsh political debate
- What a new UK Prime Minister means for Wales and devolution
- Internal pressure on Labour and the Senedd opposition
- Whether political walkouts and confrontational tactics are effective
- The future of Welsh governance in a rapidly changing UK landscape
- And we say goodbye to Craig Lawton, who is sadly leaving the pod to start a few role elsewhere
This is a moment of political change — and Wales is right at the centre of it.
