In an unexpected turn of events, the latest poll shows Labour might be heading towards a disastrous defeat in the upcoming Senedd election in May! 📉 This latest YouGov poll has Plaid Cymru sprinting ahead as the firm favourite, with Labour’s support even dipping below the Green Party.

– **Reform UK**: 23%
– **Green Party**: 13%
– **Labour**: 10%
