Dan Thomas, the new leader of Reform Wales has said that his party will be fighting for ‘forgotten communities’ across the country.

At a rally in Newport, Nigel Farage named the former Conservative leader of Barnet Council as the leader of Reform Wales.

Thomas said: “It’s a huge honour to lead Reform here in Wales. We’ve built a strong team and we’ll get stronger still between now and May and beyond.

“Every day we will be fighting for our forgotten communities and everyone the establishment has ignored for so long.

“This May, vote Reform to deliver the change Wales desperately needs.”

Farage said: "I think we deserve Reform UK, here in Wales, to be led by somebody who's been battle hardened, who's been there before.”
