Nigel Farage will today announce a new leader for Reform in Wales following the arrest of former leader Dan Thomas.

Reform made a spectacular breakthrough in May’s elections, going from having no seats at all in the Welsh Senned to becoming the second largest party.

But the party suffered a setback when Dan Thomas quit as the party’s Welsh leader, after he was arrested on suspicion of assault and controlling or coercive behaviour. He said he had been “released without charge”.

Gwent Police confirmed that a 45-year-old man from Aberbargoed, in Caerphilly, has been bailed pending further enquiries.

Latest UK-wide polling from Ipsos found 27% say they will vote Labour at the next General Election, 23% say Reform. 21% say the Conservatives, 13% say the Greens and 8% say the Lib Dems.
