Nigel Farage, speaking at Reform UK's Welsh manifesto launch in Newport on Thursday, called the Senedd election on 7 May a referendum on Prime Minister Keir Starmer's leadership. Farage said the result would end Labour's dominance in Wales, where the party has led the devolved government since its establishment over two decades ago. Reform and Plaid Cymru currently lead opinion polls in Wales. Reform's manifesto includes scrapping the default 20mph speed limit.
