In this Senedd Sources Christmas special, Ollie Cole, Jo Kiernan and Craig Lawton look back on a remarkable year in Welsh politics — from the rise of Reform UK and the Caerphilly by-election shock, to the fallout from the Nathan Gill scandal, and the countdown to the 2026 Senedd election.

We’re also joined by Simon Hart, former Welsh Secretary, Chief Whip, and now Lord Hart of Tenby, to discuss his explosive political diary Ungovernable: The Political Diaries of a Chief Whip— an inside account of government during the Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak years.

In this episode:

• Why Reform UK surged in Wales
• What Caerphilly revealed about voter behaviour
• The new Senedd constituency boundaries
• The Nathan Gill case
• Simon Hart on Covid, devolution, whips, and party chaos

🎄 A perfect Christmas listen for anyone interested in Welsh politics.
