π¨ Drama in Newport! π¨

Councillor Nick Baneswell, a newly elected Tory in Newport, has been suspended after making headlines for his appearance on Channel 4’s “Serial Dads.” Just weeks ago, he won his seat as a Welsh Conservative, but his past is catching up with him.
In the 2018 show, Baneswell, also known as Nick Portman, boasted about fathering ten children with five different women and famously stated he’s “never carried a condom.” He even claimed that flirting is part of running a pub. Locals suspect his suspension is tied to this infamous appearance, which has been buzzing online since his victory.

His former partner, Lauren, was 17 when they started dating, while Baneswell was 44. The couple has since split, and the councillor is left in the dark as to why heβs been axed. Fellow party members are equally puzzled and waiting for answers.

The Welsh Conservative Party confirmed an investigation is underway, but kept details under wraps, citing the process as confidential.
In the documentary, Baneswell wasn’t shy about his lifestyle choices or the possibility of fathering more children, despite having ten already. Notorious for ignoring texts from admirers, the councillor seemed caught between his role in public life and personal exploits.
