Frustrating or what? If the answer to this is voting for Reform then the hole we’re digging is just going to get deeper. One of our main problems is so few Welsh people will read / be aware of this as too many get their info from the likes of the Daily Mail

Why do so many fall under the spell of charismatic men (it’s always a bloke) who promises so much but usually serves up only pain & despair? Lastly, why have so many of these leaders historically had names with only 5 or 6 characters?
