Reform UK's Joe Martin has been barred from speaking in the Welsh Parliament until he apologises. During Tuesday's business statement, the Caerdydd Penarth member asked for a government statement on what he called the replacement of white British people, claiming they would become a minority by 2063. Presiding Officer Huw Irranca-Davies ruled the comments discriminatory and deliberately offensive, adding that he had warned Martin before.
