He certainly doesn't in Wales.
Reform forecasted to scrape most seats at next year's election at the Senedd.
The introduction of the D'Hondt Formula means it's almost certain that Reform won't secure a majority
Pyrrhic victory
Drakeford's legacy. 👍
Farage furious 😂

Why is Cllr Thomas able to get way with attending less than 50% of council meetings?
Meanwhile how did he avoid censure for taking down competitor signs

Are you literally seeking to gift Reform Torfaen ?

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.

An act of self-preservation.

If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.

They didn't.

Quite right
She placed her home to rent with a time served experienced agent
They oversaw a no of works (electricty etc) to make the property fully complaint

Cllr Thomas now achieved his aim an appearance on GB News 😂
Council meetings at Torfaen now too mundane
Having only appeared at 44% of them since May
"Wales needs Reform "😅

So sad he has turned his back on them .No surgeries with their local MP to air their grievances .
A community that has lost it's voice /
They must rue the day they closed the door on former MP Giles
On a bus he brought the surgery to them.
NF prefers the more genteel Frinton tennis club

The Greens certainly have a role to play in the Senedd election
Every vote counts.
It doesn't take that many to pick up the 6th seat
Forecasted for c 4 Could easily be 6-7

That would be just enough to build themselves a power base with the wafer thin margin expected between Plaid &Reform

An accidental landlord who put the letting of her home into the hands of a reputable company.
They made a mistake. She was running the economy at the time .Perhaps she didn't notice?
Farage would probably place the property in an overseas company & draw the monthly income UK tax free .

Its hilarious the desperation the Reformites to pin something on her .
Farage couldn't even remember if he had bought a £800k house in Clacton
Him or his latest foreign squeeze 😆

Kyte the 1st elected Reform councillor in Wales
Saturated bombed tiny Trevethin
All that effort but only turned up for 73% of meetings
So much for change😆

Doubting Thomas & his Reform colleagues were quite happy to spin negatively their own patch for a snipe at their own council .
Mocking the small affair in the old village (pictured right) knowing the main event with a proper tree (awaiting dressing) was in the town centre .

Plaid Cymru can count themselves lucky their garden signs hadn't disappeared in Caerphilly 😆

Well these selective letting licences are a bear trap.
In her case most unfortunate as she employed a firm of letting agents to let her home
They had a duty of care to ensure the let was compliant
Their fault just an admin error .
Meanwhile Farage forgets who bought his Clacton house 😂

Mincemeat Joe @micemeatjoe.bsky.social · 3d

Thomas to be fair was quite a good councillor as an independent
Yet since he has drunk the Reform Kool Aid it's all gone to his head
Appeared at the opening of every Reform envelope promoted to director
Farage's busy idiot.
He has been heavy handed & self promoted

Mincemeat Joe @micemeatjoe.bsky.social · 3d

Reform Councillors they never show up .
Absent 8 out of 15
Leads by example.😆
This is Cllr David Thomas attendance record at Torfaen Council from May this year
The Director for Wales
Abysmal

Home for Thomas is in next door Cwmbran
Almost a permanant feature in Caerphilly during the campaign
Caerphilly keen to see the back of him
Fellow cllrs at Torfaen have noted his absences
His promotion has gone to his head Been heavy handed around the branches throwing his weight around

Nice try.
They have in recent years all made bumper profits on the strength of rising prices.
You don't hear them offering to swap shareholder dividends for price cuts , 😂
