But why did such a strong Labour seat nearly turn to Reform, The i paper's Chief News Correspondent David Parsley went to find out.

Why do you label Voice of Wales “far right”? From what I’ve come to find these days is anyone who isn’t Labour is generally called “far right” It’s simply a word to demonise someone who doesn’t share the authorised opinion at this point surely. Frankly I find it extremely rude that you interview my country men and women who are unaware that you’re about to label them as “far right” in your video (I’m referring to the people in the town that admitted they voted reform). Dirty bait and switch tactics you’re no better than the BBC towing the company line and ignoring the people for an easy pay

Until we get a Reform government we don't know what they can achieve.. we already know what the uniparty does.. we know. So your vote is important and don't waste it.

@@janetmalcolm6191 you clearly haven't. At no point does it say they want a privatised NHS (that was actually started by Labour). Taking those on incomes £20K or lower out of income tax is a huge benefit in itself for the poorest.

What a load of rubbish get them out she was no good as a health minister now she is first minister for wales GOD HELP US NOW

Wales received substantial funding from the EU but voted to leave in the Brexit referendum, largely due to promises around immigration control. Since then, integration and economic issues have only worsened, yet people continue to vote for the same populists who encouraged the wrong solutions. It's clear that most are being misled or fooled. I have great sympathy for the clever and reasonable Welsh people I met during my stay there.
