Liz Savile Roberts has been elected as Plaid Cymru MP for Dwyfor Meirionydd. The Tories' Westminster group leader was one of seven candidates standing in what had been seen as a safe Plaid Cymru seat, especially as, due to boundary changes, it was taking on at this election part of another safe seat for the party - Arfon.

The boundaries of all but one Welsh seat have changed ahead of the 2024 election, only Ynys Mon (the island of Anglesey) remains untouched. Using figures from electoral calculus, we see the new Dwyfor Meirionnydd seat is all the former constituency as well as 59.1% of Arfon, where the current MP Hywel Williams is standing down. There is also 5.1% of the Clwyd South, a Conservative seat.

Result:

Tomos Day (Conservatives) - 4,712 Karl Drinkwater (Green Party) - 1,448 Joan Ginsberg (Heritage Party) - 297 Phoebe Jenkins (Lib Dem) - 1,381 Lucy Murphy (Reform UK) - 4,857 Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru) - 21,788
Joanna Stallard (Labour) - 5,912

For five years, barring calamity, it is yours, for you to decorate with all the golden Lulu Lytle wallpaper you like.

The populist threat has been crushed. The “far-Right” has been blocked from forming a government, and a financial crisis has been averted.

But hold on. The election massively strengthened the far-Left – and it is the Marxist extremists that pose the real threat to the survival
