#Cymru brings the biggest defeat of 2026: #ElunedMorgan, First Minister of Wales & leader of Welsh Labour.
Under #Wales's d'Hondt voting system, a party winning at least 17% of the votes in any constituency is guaranteed one of the six seats in that constituency. Cast iron guaranteed.
But in Ceredigion Penfro, #WelshLabour won only 7.3%. So no seats there for Labour.
After winning every Welsh election since the 1920s, the #LabourParty is now 3rd in the #Senedd. It's over.

#WelshElections #Senedd2026, I’ll provide #media coverage on #Basque #radio. After #WelshLabour dominance, Wales may be entering a structural political transition: #PlaidCymru or #ReformUK are neck-and-neck.

#PlaidCymru surges in #ITV #ITVcymru poll for the #Senedd. https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2026-01-13/plaid-cymru-surges-ahead-of-reform-as-labour-in-fourth-place-in-latest-itv-poll
#Plaid up 7 points to 37%, which I think is an all-time record.
This poll would give Plaid Cymru 45 seats out of 96, just 4 short of an overall majority. It would give Greens #GPEW 11 seats, allowing a Plaid/Green coalition a comfortable working majority without #WelshLabour.
If the result in May is close to this, it be an earthquake in Weish Politics and #ukpol. The Labour century in #Cymru #Wales is over. ❤️

Llongyfarchiadau Caerffili!
#PlaidCymru has decisively won the #Caerphilly #Senedd by-election, with 47.4% of votes. It's a 27% swing from #WelshLabour and 11% margin over #ReformUK. The collapse of Welsh #Labour in its heartland is devastating, as is the wipeout of the #WelshConservatives.
Plaid is confurmed as the leading force to oust the disgraced so-called "Labour Party" in #Senedd26, and Labour has lost its majority in the Senedd.

@Fife4Europe I've boosted it of course, but, too little too late IMO. Reading the room at #senedd #cymru yesterday I'd say Labour have lost Wales to the fascists. = #noreturn #WelshLabour & #ElunedMorgan is well hard but I've seen this at Westminster, the money / landowning elites have got the bit between their teeth. ✊ #solidarity

Most #cymraeg #welsh #labour I've met are diametrically opposed to #LINO #Starmer . Is that an argument for a new and distinct group #WelshLabour #LabourCymraeg ? Asking for a friend , obvs. 😎 ✊

I have no qualms with Eluned, but it always sucks when democracy falters like this.
I don't think an early election is always warranted in these cases, but I think one probably is here given the lack of a leadership election and the recent tumult. The times demand a First Minister with a fresh mandate, I should think, and voters should have the opportunity to pass judgement on all involved.

Fascinating poll for #Wales
- 2nd place for #UKGeneralElection is now a 3-way fight between #PlaidCymru , Tories and Reform. #UKLabour lead.
- #WelshLabour drop puts them just 4 points ahead of Plaid in #Senedd poll

Big row brewing in #uklabour party.
Shadow Welsh Secretary denying her #WelshLabour colleagues the #HS2 money #Wales is owed and refusing their devolution demands.

Da iawn #MarkDrakeford - a brilliant and passionate speech on behalf of the most vulnerable in society. His #WelshLabour colleagues and #WelshGovernment should reflect long and hard on his case for reforming school holidays to help children in the poorest families.

This bloke is finished. Mired in controversy from the very start.
He likes to look tough. Instead, he's showing himself to be a total amateur, keen to delete Covid WhatsApps, just like Bojo the Clown did.

@fkamiah17 I heard Ken Skates on #BBCRadioWales this morning. Really disappointing - clearly moving towards a Tory-lite agenda that doesn't recognise the need for radical change away from climate and society-wrecking car dependency. Credit to #LeeWaters for trying to change things. Now I'm depressed. #GoodMorningWales #WalesPol #ukpolitics #WelshLabour #Labour #transport #Senedd

🥳
He's got big shoes to fill — Drakeford was an outstanding leader and First Minister, the very model for future FMs — but I was very happy to cast my vote for Vaughan.

Wow, this is a huge surprise!
Drakeford is absolutely astounding, and was particularly excellent opposite the Tory monsters in Westminster through the pandemic. I will be very sorry to see him go.

Mark Drakeford and #WelshLabour continue to be extremely excellent!
-
@russell I do not agree with that at all! Pro independence in Wales is growing very very fast! its up from 19% to almost 45% in the last two years! The actual issue here is #WelshLabour and its leader#MarkDrakeford is Pro Union so its not that the people dont want it, its the powers that be blocking it!
-
@NationCymru they keep doing it because they keep getting voted for! Why? Why haven't #PlaidCymru made inroads into the 'Red Wall' of South Wales? Can the #WelshNationalParty do any better? Or do we need to change #WelshLabour from within?
