Plaid Cymru Spoils Labour’s Caerphilly Party, Reform Sings Hymns to Empty Chairs
In a plot twist juicier than a soap opera marathon, Plaid Cymru swooped in on October 24, 2025, to snatch the Caerphilly seat from Labour, whose vote collapse was so catastrophic even Reform UK’s Llŷr Powell couldn’t blame immigration—he insisted his crusade was about ‘where best to put money into Caerphilly.’ From a blank slate, Powell’s team became grassroots marketing wizards, training legions in campaign Kung Fu, but still played second fiddle to the Welsh independence charm offensive. Labour’s betrayal was so palpable locals probably checked if their wallets had been pickpocketed.

(1 of 3)Labour lost Caerphilly so bad even Reform UK’s 'not-about-immigration' campaign sounds like a polite hostage negotiation. Plaid Cymru threw the ultimate wrecking ball and left the opposition rethinking their life choices.
Plaid Cymru casually bumped Labour out of Caerphilly like that friend who 'forgets' your birthday but remembers to crash your parties. Reform UK tried to save face, but it’s hard explaining a blank slate losing to a paintbrush.
Caerphilly’s byelection looked like a reality show finale: Labour voted off the island, Plaid took the crown, and Reform UK was that contestant claiming it’s totally not about the drama. Spoiler: it was.
