Helen Jenner elected leader of Reform UK in Wales after predecessor's arrest
In Wales, Helen Jenner has been elected as the new leader of Reform UK, the largest opposition group in the Senedd. She succeeds Dan Thomas, who resigned last week after being arrested on suspicion of assault and controlling or coercive behaviour; he was released without charge and denies wrongdoing. Jenner, who represents Bangor Conwy Mon and served as deputy leader, was chosen in a vote among Reform Senedd members. Nigel Farage, Reform UK's national leader, announced her appointment in Cardiff, praising her as a determined campaigner.
