Reform fights back against ‘quiet plot to break up the UK’ as Welsh independence threat clouds crunch vote

Rhun ap Iorwerth will “drag” Wales closer towards independence if Plaid Cymru wins the Welsh Parliament Election on May 7, Reform UK’s Welsh leader Dan Thomas has told GB News. Fears of breaking up the Union have been ramped up in the past few weeks as Reform UK and Labour plot to stop Plaid Cymru’s march to power. Following last October’s Caerphilly by-election, Plaid Cymru emerged as favourites to win power in the upcoming election to Cardiff Bay. Despite watering down previous calls for an independence poll, Mr Thomas issued a chilling warning about “left-wing extremists” plotting to “drag” Wales away from the UK. Speaking to GB News for a special St David’s Day report, Mr Thomas said: “Independence is something that Plaid will always push for, but because they know most people in Wales don’t support it, Plaid have gone very quiet on that front.“Part of our job in Reform is to make it clear what Plaid stands for. They’re separatists, yes, but they’re also left-wing extremists.

The 44-year-old, who warned Welsh independence would also make the UK a “poorer place”, said: “Labour have totally run out of ideas in Wales and now they’re trying to call for more devolution to be a Plaid-lite sort of option.“But the reality is that their devolution obsession is one of the reasons they’ve failed Wales so badly.
