Nigel Williams MS

WELCOME TO THE SENEDD, WHERE DIVERSITY IS CELEBRATED, UNLESS IT’S DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT. On @Iromg Show, I explained how the Deputy First Minister refused to take interventions from Reform during a debate on face coverings. The same politicians who never stop lecturing us about inclusion seem remarkably uncomfortable with opposing views. All opinions welcome. Terms and conditions apply. So much for tolerance. So much for debate. So much for democracy.

Listening to Kiera Marshall MS was rather like watching an overzealous sixth-form prefect lecturing the class from the front of the room. All that self-righteous authority, without quite grasping that the Senedd is a Parliament, not a school assembly. We are elected to scrutinise the law, not sit quietly through a lecture on approved opinions.

🐝 WELCOME TO PLAID CYMRU’S HIVE OF PRIORITIES! £25,000 for beekeeping lessons in Uganda and Ghana. £300,000 a year for African aid projects. Meanwhile, Welsh patients wait for treatment and public services are stretched to breaking point. Labour started it. Plaid carried on buzzzzzzzzzing. Apparently, putting Wales first is none of their beeswax 🐝 telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

CHARITIES KEEP COMMUNITIES GOING. THE WELSH GOVERNMENT KEEPS THEM GUESSING. Today in the Senedd, I challenged the Deputy First Minister on why charities delivering vital services still face short-term funding, mounting paperwork and uncertainty over their future. Organisations supporting families in crisis and vulnerable people should be helping those in need, not constantly chasing their next grant. But the Deputy FM failed to provide a figure for annual funding, a deadline for longer-term grants, or measurable targets for improvement. Acknowledging the problem is not the same as committing to fix it. Real partnership isn’t about meetings, strategies or warm words. It’s about delivering meaningful change for the people who rely on these services. My five-minute Senedd speech 👇

Last week on @Iromg, I discussed Plaid’s big fanfare over £100 for households in Council Tax bands A–D: “We are taking action”. Except they were passing on money coming to Wales from the UK Government. Meanwhile, Welsh families are paying the price of economically illiterate policies. One stark example: the same Christmas drinks basket was around £80 in Chester and £115 just 15 minutes away in Wales. £35 more. Same basket. Different side of the border. £100 makes a nice headline. It doesn’t disguise a cost-of-living crisis being made worse by the Welsh Government’s own policies.

We live in extraordinary times: guidance appears to outweigh primary legislation, and people working here illegally can still acquire enforceable employment rights. The Tories presided over it. Labour are happily carrying the torch. The uniparty consensus in full swing: rights for everyone, apparently, except the employers left to pick up the bill.

This takes me back to my Senedd campaign… 🥊 The way Starmer punched that bag proved to be exactly how he ran the country: hesitant, awkward and utterly unconvincing. Perhaps his voters should have taken it as a warning then, and remember it for the future. What I said in May still stands: 🥊 Hit Labour at the ballot box. Vote Reform at the next General Election. 🇬🇧

Remember who Dominik Tarczyński is. An elected Polish MEP. Fiercely patriotic. Unapologetic on borders, sovereignty and Poland’s right to say NO to Brussels. Starmer’s Government barred him from Britain, declaring his presence “not conducive to the public good”. Apparently defending your country, borders and culture makes you unacceptable in Labour’s Britain. Now look at Poland. They are refusing to buckle. Perhaps that’s exactly why voices like @D_Tarczynski’s frighten the establishment 🇵🇱🇬🇧

Thank you, Nigel. Coming from police and military backgrounds, my husband and I understand what service and duty mean. I want to see a restored Territorial Army doing what it exists to do: defend Britain, its borders and its people. And my God, there is plenty worth defending 🇬🇧

I welcome @reformparty_uk’s pledge to bring back the Territorial Army name. My husband proudly served in the TA for 16 years. The name represents something distinctly British: service, duty, tradition and pride in country. And it represents a principle we should never have lost: government’s first duty is to Britain and the British people 🇬🇧

The EUSSR in one post 👇

“As a proud Welshman, I am truly ashamed of what devolution has done to my country” @Cai_ParryJones And here’s why 👇 Six of seven health boards failing to balance their books. Almost £200m annual deficit. No “credible plan” to turn it around. After 27 years, this isn’t about needing more money. It’s about accountability. @RUKWales answer: link senior NHS pay and contracts to performance. Deliver or make way for someone who will. Wales needs Reform 🩵

This is what happens when a nation refuses to be pushed around. Watch Steven explain what’s unfolding in Poland. Poland shows the strength of a people fiercely protective of their nation, borders, Constitution and right to decide their own future. That national cohesion is extraordinarily difficult for outside forces to break. 🇵🇱 And thank you @SBarrettBar for mentioning Romania. What happened in my birth country, and the EU meddling in its lawful elections, is why I will never accept Brussels interfering in national democracy. Reform is the line in the sand: Britain will not be dragged back under Brussels’ control. Our country. Our laws. Our democracy 🇬🇧

Exactly this 👇 Britain imports billions in oil from Guyana while leaving our own resources in the ground. Same oil. More dependence. British jobs lost. Net Zero hasn’t stopped us using oil, it’s outsourced the production. Reform will put British energy, British jobs and British interests first 🇬🇧
