Today, the Conservative Party removed the whip from me and revoked my membership after more than 20+ years. This followed my decision to speak out and challenge the status quo. I was asked by the Chief Whip whether I had been in talks with Reform. I gave an honest answer and said that I had. Those discussions were mainly about the serious challenges our country faces and the need to ensure we do not end up with a hard left Plaid Cymru / Green Party coalition. The whip was removed primarily because I raised serious concerns about the refusal of the UK Conservative Party to recognise the reality that our country is broken. I believe Britain is broken. I was asked not to say this and instead to support a position that the UK is not broken. I could not, in all conscience, support a position that I believe is not true. I will be making a decision on my political future shortly, based on what is in the best interests of my family, my constituents and the people of Wales
