Plaid Cymru wins Caerphilly by-election as Labour loses seat for first time ever

Reform UK comes second in the race to represent Caerphilly in the Welsh Parliament - with Labour a distant third.

www.bbc.co.uk

There was a by-election held in Caerphilly, Wales yesterday. A solidly Labour area for over a century, the Labour (and Tory) vote absolutely collapsed, and the contest became a two-horse race between far-right Reform party and Plaid Cymru, the Welsh nationalist party. Thankfully Plaid beat the fash quite handily, beating polling expectations that it was going to be a narrow Reform win.

The Labour Party really is buggered if is polling <15% anywhere in Wales though. It’s going to get wiped out there next May unless a miracle happens.

I mean, it’s as harsh a punishment as the monarch is most likely allowed to enact. Short of bringing back beheadings.

Given the era we live in; is anyone against bringing back beheadings?
