Nigel Farage Port Talbot Speech – Some Brass Neck

9 Jun 2025
Jane Dodds MS

Commenting ahead of Nigel Farage’s visit to Wales today, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:

“Nigel Farage has some real cheek to come to Port Talbot and promise them the world while his best mate Donald Trump is threatening to destroy the remnants of our steel industry, with yet more tariffs at the end of this month.

“Like his idols, Donald Trump and Liz Truss, Nigel Farage would wreck the Welsh economy and local services with unfunded tax cuts and the hollowing out of public services.

“I understand that a lot of people are frustrated that they have been let down by Labour in Wales and the Conservatives across the entire UK, but it’s the Liberal Democrats who are offering real change, not Reform. We are passionate local campaigners focused on getting you swift access to local healthcare and ensuring that schools are safe places for our kids.

“Last year’s general election shows that we are winning again. And in a recent by-election in Neath Port Talbot, we easily beat Reform and pushed Labour into 4th place in the sort of industrial heartlands both claim ownership of.”

ENDS
