Dan Thomas Comments - Reform are the Establishment Say Lib Dems

Responding to Reform UK's Welsh Leader Daniel Thomas's comments to BBC Wales, where he said he would consider a donation from a criminal if it was his "only option" to help pay for security, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:

"Dan Thomas's comments are an absolute embarrassment to Welsh politics and a glaring reminder of why Reform cannot be trusted with serious leadership. This, of course, comes after Reform’s last Welsh leader took bribes from Russia.

"To openly admit that you would consider taking money from a convicted criminal, even under certain circumstances, is an insult to the public and a complete abandonment of basic political integrity. 

“The people of Wales deserve leaders who uphold the highest ethical standards, not politicians who make casual excuses for murky finances and dodge accountability by claiming the establishment is out to get them, when in fact many Reform politicians are about as establishment as they come."
