Farage's Tata plan would cost 5,000 jobs, says Starmer

  • The Welsh Labour conference in Llandudno featured speeches warning about Reform UK's rising influence ahead of the May 2026 Senedd election.
  • Reform UK aims to end Labour's 26-year dominance, boosted by polls showing potential seat losses for Labour and an expanded proportional voting system.
  • Nigel Farage visited Port Talbot, advocating reopening the recently closed blast furnaces despite widespread expert criticism that the plan is unrealistic and costly.
  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Farage has 'no plan' for Wales and criticized the proposal for canceling construction of an electric arc furnace and 5,000 associated jobs.
  • The warnings suggest the coming Senedd election could reshape Welsh politics, with Labour facing serious challenges and coalition possibilities under the new voting system.
