Introducing our Reform UK Wales candidate for my previous Council seat in #swansea for the amazing ward of #mumbles ⬇️ @RUKWales

Thank you @FrancescaOBMS of @RUKWales for visiting @BASW_Cymru today and taking the time to hear about the vital role of social workers across Wales.

Thank you to @FrancescaOBMS and Steven Rodaway MS of @RUKWales for taking the time to listen, ask questions and hear directly from BASW Cymru about the realities facing social workers across Wales.

Steve and I didn’t manage to get around all the stands today - we do love a chat 🗣️ . More importantly, we like to engage with various sectors to better understand their needs from Government. Great to meet representatives from the Social Care & Social Work sector. @RUKWales

Wherever Plaid fails the Welsh people, wastes taxpayers’ money or loses sight of the everyday struggles ordinary families face, we will hold them to account.

Really proud to take the post of Shadow Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning 💪

The Reform team doesn’t rest 💪 We are back out on the door steps. This ⬇️ is the engine room of Team Gower & Swansea Reform. #TimeForReform #swansea #gower

In a year’s time, we’ll be fighting local elections right across Wales. After what we achieved at the Senedd Election, I have no doubt we will see massive Reform gains. Join us today: 🔗 reformparty.uk/join Wales needs Reform. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@MichaelDearde13 It was raining sadly! 😬

@FrancescaOBMS No way u got sun 😒 its raining in Pembrokeshire lol 😆 😂

Out today supporting a friend who is participating in the National Garden Scheme in Loughor, with his beautiful garden😍. #swansea #nationalgardenscheme

@ljoyce15 They are stunning!

@FrancescaOBMS Beautiful gardens must be a hidden gem.

@pwsimerimiaw Why would I be suited and booted when I’m running around and not in the Senedd? Or is it just nitpicking?

@FrancescaOBMS I was being helpful. Senedd is a big step up from Mumbles, smartness expected, and maybe you didn't know better?

Really pleased to announce Stephen Taylor as our Reform UK Wales candidate for Fairwood Ward, for the Swansea City Council by-election. 🗳️ A hardworking businessman, family man and veteran, who would work tirelessly for the community and would be a fantastic local councillor.

The election of Huw Irranca-Davies as the Llywydd of the Senedd highlighted the key difference in opposition style between Reform UK and the Conservatives. At Reform, we gathered relevant information, such as listening to our MSs' previous experiences of working with Huw. We concluded that he would most likely be a professional and fair Llywydd and as a result we decided to support his appointment. The Tories on the other hand went on the attack as if it were a constitutional crisis. Their leader raged at his podium for longer than the First Minister's inaugural speech. Reform UK Wales will ruthlessly attack decisions within the Senedd that go against the interests of the people of Wales. But we will not fall into the trap of the boy who cried wolf. When we go on the attack, it'll be because it matters, and people will know to listen.

@pwsimerimiaw I will leave that for Kier. I hear he likes to have clothes donated👍

@FrancescaOBMS Still no decent clothes to wear for Senedd work? We may have to start a fund.

@MichaelDearde13 Sadly, not. One day may be 👍

@FrancescaOBMS U doing ironman wales in tenby

Lovely to watch the Inauguration of the Lord Mayor of the City & County of Swansea, Cllr Penny Matthews. I wish her a happy, healthy and fun year ahead! Great to sit next to Mike Eames, volunteer at Oystermouth Castle 🏰 #mumbles #swansea

To be honest, this is much better opposition stuff than I expected from Reform - focused on cost and outcomes (conceding the policy aim is good). If we can all park the constitution to one side (leave it to the Tories, we might have quite a constructive Senedd here.
