BBC News - Nigel Farage accuses BBC of left-wing bias over director's former role
www.bbc.com/news/article...

Farage talking sh1t again. It's a Managerial role and if she were to get involved in programmes she'd be told politely to 'f*ck off'. Why do the BBC give Farage oxygen for his hatred?
BBC ‘bias’ over director Rhuanedd Richards’ Plaid Cymru role, claims Farage
Rhuanedd Richards became director of BBC Wales in 2021, and took up the interim position of director of nations in June 2025.

🚨 34% of Wales' children are living in poverty.

Families who are already struggling shouldn't have to pay any more for Labour’s failings.

Rachel Reeves is targeting the wrong people. Plaid Cymru is clear - it’s time for those with the broadest shoulders to pay their fair share.

We can but hope that the Nathan Gill conviction will lead to conclusive evidence that Farage was also doing similar.
Cut benefits, cut minimum wage, raise retirement age, means test pensions, get rid of the NHS.

Why are you voting for Farage?
