Many London commentators expected the seat to fall to Reform – perhaps even hoped it would. It would have fit the narrative that post-industrial communities naturally drift to the populist right. We proved them wrong. A message built on fairness, community and national purpose resonated with voters, and a comfortable majority voted for it.Rhun ap Iorwerth is the leader of Plaid Cymru and the member of the Senedd for Ynys Môn.
