Reform UK’s chief whip in the Senedd, Llyr Powell, joins Rob Osborne and Laura Dunn on the day his party is in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. He responds to the undercover documentary and confirms the party is building TV and radio studios inside its head office. Is it a way to reach voters directly, or a way to avoid scrutiny? Plus, Rob and Laura look back on conference season, from Birmingham to Llandudno. They also discuss Andy Burnham’s push to devolve power below Cardiff Bay, question if tensions if coming between Ken Skates and Mark Drakeford, and Laura’s verdict on closing junctions around Newport.
