This analysis (even if it is by Maguire - probably pished and dissapointed) gets one thing correct. This is a shock to both Labour and Reform and a great start for Plaid.
Plaid Cymru win - in Caerphilliy in the Senedd elections, with a healthy majority over Reform (who had been widely predicted to be in the lead). Notable was Labour’s collapse.
Plaid: 15,961
Reform: 12,113
Labour: 3,713
A good start and I hope Farage who appeared confident had some sore underwear to hand.
50.4% turnout, blimey.
Some optimistic noises coming from Plaid, especially around youth turnout.
I'm still predicting disaster, but if it's one in which voters abandon my party for Plaid while rejecting Reform, I'd be content with it being a disaster merely for my party rather than for my country.

"Welsh #Labour’s attempts to cling onto its Caerphilly Senedd seat in the by-election were rocked at the weekend as the council leader resigned and said he would vote #PlaidCymru."
Anecdotally, I encounter this fairly regularly too — mostly, but not exclusively, from the right, and usually from the politically unengaged.
As described here, Reform are only interested in the Welsh elections next May to shore up resources for their national party rather than legislating responsibly for Wales and Welsh people — but I think it a valid concern that our very democracy may be on the ballot too.

"A company run by one of Wales’ leading #ReformUK figures has been paid tens of thousands of pounds by Senedd Members to deliver leaflets [for other parties] at taxpayers’ expense."

“The chaotic situation regarding the need – or not – for border control posts is symptomatic of the chaos and costs surrounding #Brexit as a whole.

“Given your opposite statements at 17:03 and 17:05, merely two minutes apart, would you care to explain your mental gymnastics?”
You know you’re a fan of #WelshPolitics when you find yourself part of the ultras making the trip for Vaughan Roderick & Richard Wyn Jones (a).
Please, for the love of god, make grown-ups be in charge again.

NIMBYs opposing green infrastructure yet again.
I'm an extremist who thinks landowners who prevent us from building goddamn anything should have their assets seized and be tried and executed as traitors, but it is disappointing to see Plaid turn to this niche form of usually right-wing populism — as the Greens have in England.
I look forward to the tears when we take an axe to the Town and Country Planning Act later in the year.

My MP is Jessica Morden. She is a good constituency MP but also part of the government. So she follows party lines. I am in email correspondence as she replied to my email about the Climate Bill. Today I have written disagreeing with de regulation and runway approvals.We have #Senedd elections in #Wales next year and I fear that Reform will take a lot of seats particularly if she continues with the attacks on Welfare and by not funding social housing.
