🚨 Keir Starmer MIA in Caerphilly By-Election! 🚨
With just eight days until the pivotal Caerphilly by-election, folks are wondering… where’s Keir Starmer? The PM hasn’t been spotted campaigning in this Labour stronghold as Plaid Cymru and Reform UK aim for an upset. This vote, triggered by Hefin David’s passing, could spell trouble for Labour if lost, especially with critical support waning in Wales before the 2026 Senedd election. 📉
When quizzed by the BBC about his absence, Starmer kept it vague, citing the party conference as a scheduling conflict. But what gives? Is it the library closures or cuts to disability support causing hesitation? Plaid Cymru’s Liz Saville Roberts certainly thinks so, and she didn’t hold back in the Commons. 🏛️
And what’s with the mixed messages from the party? The Welsh Secretary’s shrug, “I don’t run his diary,” isn’t helping clear things up. Some say Prime Ministers typically skip by-election campaigns, but others hint he’ll eventually show. 🤔
Will Starmer finally show up or steer clear until the polls close? Share your thoughts below! 👇 #CaerphillyByElection #Politics #WalesVotingDrama
