Plaid Cymru has claimed that the leader of the Welsh Conservative group in the Senedd “has revealed his true colours” after retweeting a rival party’s post calling for the abolition of the Senedd.
Welsh Tory leader Darren Millar, who Plaid say is ‘engulfed in internal rows and collapsing poll ratings’ - retweeted a post from the ‘Abolish the Assembly party’ which ended with the words “Abolish it” in reference to the Senedd.
Responding to his retweet Plaid Cymru MS Heledd Fychan remarked: "It’s time for Darren Millar to come clean. If he has u-turned on devolution having come under pressure from within his own party, he should say so. If someone else is masquerading as the leader of the Tory group in the Senedd via social media, the people of Wales deserve to know that too.
“Whether it’s a case of changing their policy - despite the overwhelming support for devolution in Wales - or a case of someone else accessing the X account, one thing is for certain; the Tories just aren’t a serious party.
“If you can’t run a social media account you certainly can’t run a country. The Tories are in perpetual self-destruct mode and this could be the Abolish the Welsh Conservatives election in 2026. Plaid Cymru is the only credible party of government in 2026, with a relentless focus on Wales and a positive vision of what our nation can be.”
