12 MSs have confirmed they will step down in 2026.
This means that at least 50% of the newly elected MSs will be newcomers (or returning from pre-2021).
The number could be considerably higher due to potential for further announcements and the possibility of current MSs standing unsuccessfully.

Bonkers Reform plan to:
- whack up your energy bills by making renewables and pylons cost more (costs that are passed straight onto bills).
- leave us with hugely volatile energy prices.
Good for Putin, terrible for us.

Great weekend in Llandudno!
You can’t argue with the engagement that the Welsh Labour Conference provides, particularly this time around with the ability to engage with ministers from both Welsh and UK governments.
Always lush to catch up with friends and public affairs colleagues.
