Don't think I can put into words how i feel or how seismic this result is. We have battered the far right by 6% and 9 seats. Labour have been punished for their failures in Wales and in Westminster. Wales will finally have a government only for Wales and not England. YMA O HYD 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This is the real reason he said what he said yesterday, and if you can't see how Reform and Restore have clearly joined forces I don't know what to tell you.

It's not about free speech, they just wanted to enrage everyone to subvert our democracy.

Nobody should be ok with this

Reform's boycott of the Senedd is a disgrace to democracy.

They're not serious about Wales' future nor doing the job they were elected to do.

Plaid Cymru will always call their racism out and stand up for our communities. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[Sarah Rees MS @sarahrees500]

Let’s get this straight: this isn’t about free speech, this is about Reform wanting to make hate speech with no consequences.

Joe Martin now refuses to be in the chamber and, by doing so, fails to stand up for his constituents.

His words have consequences in the real world.

Fucking hell seemed to have pissed off the russian bots and those gullible enough to believe them 😂

[Jack T. Parnell 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @jacktparnell]

Free speech isn’t freedom from consequences. Martin advocated a racist neo-nazi conspiracy theory in the Senedd yesterday, and he is being banned as a consequence of his words until he apologises. By not disavowing the racism you are proving Reform are a racist party

[Politics Wales @PoliticalWales]

Whatever you think about Plaid, Labour,Conservatives, Lib Dems, Greens, on the whole they have decorum. Disagree with their views but their conduct in the Senedd since 1999 has been one of civility. Reform exude the uneducated barbarism of the braying masses at the gallows.

almost cannot belive conservatives are unironically moving like this

It's funny that the far right pretend to like Poland, when visceral hatred towards Polish people was a national sport for 20 years and led to Brexit.

Reform care so much about free speech that when they hold a press conference about free speech they tell off a journalist for asking a question:

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

Reform are boycotting the Senedd on Armistice Day.

This means that the official opposition won't be taking part in a debate THEY TABLED on how we can better support the armed forces and veterans.

[Lloyd Warburton🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦 @LloydCymru]

Six months of Plaid Cymru in office and they’ve just reversed Senedd expansion.

Rhun just can’t stop winning!

[Jack T. Parnell 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @jacktparnell]

There’s a difference between debating facts and racist conspiracy theories. No legislature should waste its time debating neo nazi ideas instead of serving the people. MS’ are there to serve their constituents and not to argue for nazism like some edgy sixth former

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

Worth saying he’s promoting kooky great replacement nonsense.

But if the Senedd wants to call itself a Parliament it’s going to have to allow people to say things in it that are disagreeable.

It’s *astonishing* that the left is trying to police what the right is allowed to be debated *in a legislative chamber*.

You’re not a democracy if some things are forbidden from being said or debated.

The basic tenet of a *DEBATING CHAMBER* is you hear things you disagree with. Christ alive.

[DB77 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @DBW77]

The big elephant in the room for Martin, Reform, and Restore is that their arguments about 'replacement' aren't used when they're quite happy to replace Welsh culture with a homogenised 'British' (English) one. Plaid's nationalism is civic; theirs seems to be ethno-nationalist.

[Jack T. Parnell 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @jacktparnell]

Free speech isn’t freedom from consequences. Martin advocated a racist neo-nazi conspiracy theory in the Senedd yesterday, and he is being banned as a consequence of his words until he apologises. By not disavowing the racism you are proving Reform are a racist party

[Helen Jenner @HelenJennerMS]

To show our support for Joe Martin and to defend free speech, Reform will boycott Senedd Plenary.

We will not let our voters be silenced.

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

You genuinely couldn’t make this up.

Reform UK called a press conference at the Welsh Parliament claiming that they were boycotting the Senedd because their “free speech” was being impinged on.

Joe Martin then said “how dare you ask that” to a journalist who asked a question he didn’t like then when I asked a question they walked off.

Quite an ending to a press conference about free speech…

[Jack T. Parnell 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @jacktparnell]

Because he and your party are spouting neo-nazi conspiracy theories you pos

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

It is ridiculous and outrageous that Reform’s duly elected Member of the Senedd, Joe Martin, has been banned from speaking in the Welsh Parliament.

Why is it only Reform that's targeted like this?

[Jack T. Parnell 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @jacktparnell]

Scum, the lot of them. Every single MS who supports such disgusting racism should be removed from office.

My favourite thing about Plenary is it's essentially the same question 8 times in a row and Rhun has to work out how to answer this in a different way each time.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

Wales is the poorest nation in Northern Europe. It was a global manufacturing and industrial leader. It had abundant natural resources and smart people.

Then look at the story of Iceland and Finland over the last century.

There is - clearly - something wrong with our model.
