Wales has an Anti-Racist Action Plan with an ambition to be Anti-Racist by 2030.

Yet, Reform are polling 2nd at the moment and there is nothing much calling out their racist rhetoric that I have seen.

So, how on earth do they plan on achieving this, when they don't model it?

Pressure mounts on the BBC to bar Nigel Farage from Senedd election debates. Opponents argue he isn't a Welsh candidate or potential First Minister. Debate centres on accountability and devolution.

🧵 9/9

As attention turns towards the 2026 Senedd election, understanding these differences in framing will be an important part of assessing how audiences encounter political information across the UK’s media landscape.

🧵 7/9

Overall, the analysis suggests that UK-wide & Welsh news outlets approached the by-election through different editorial lenses: one centred on UK political trends, the other on devolved & local context.

🧵 6/9

Individual candidate mentions on TV & online were also relatively evenly distributed, with Reform UK’s Llŷr Powell referenced most often due to ongoing reporting relating to Nathan Gill.

Mentions of parties & leaders broadly reflected their roles in the campaign, their positions in the Senedd, & key events.

Welsh broadcasters placed greater focus on Plaid Cymru’s victory & the local significance of the result, while also covering the wider implications for Labour, Reform UK & other parties.

Great to see @itvcymruwales.bsky.social Sharp End available on Youtube.

A great Welsh politics programme, but it's suffered from a late-night slot. Hopefully this will help grow the audience.
