Watch how Labour MPs explode in anger as Reform MP exposes 26 years of Welsh failures right in Parliament!

There was a fiery exchange in the UK Parliament as a Reform UK MP delivered a scathing attack on Welsh Labour’s record, triggering loud reactions and visible anger from Labour MPs. The MP pointed out that Welsh Labour has been in charge of devolved matters in Cardiff Bay for 26 years, yet, according to him, Wales has fallen behind England in nearly every major area that they control.
He said household incomes in Wales remain lower than in England, employment rates are behind, and people in Wales are living shorter lives. As he laid out each point, voices from the Labour benches grew louder, with MPs shouting in protest, clearly rattled by the accusations.
Despite the backlash, the Reform MP stood his ground, questioning whether the Secretary of State could honestly be proud of her party’s track record in Wales after more than two decades in power. He argued that ordinary Welsh people are the ones paying the price for what he called Labour’s poor leadership, and that the numbers speak for themselves when comparing Wales to its UK neighbours.
In response, the Secretary of State offered a much more positive outlook, pushing back against the criticism. She said that the Welsh economy is seeing real improvements, with a noticeable rise in employment, a drop in unemployment and economic inactivity, and increases in total wages. She claimed that both the UK government and the Welsh Labour government have played a role in helping Wales recover and grow. Her remarks were aimed at calming the situation and reminding the chamber that progress is being made.
However, the clash reflects a deeper frustration that’s growing among some MPs and members of the public who feel that Wales has been left behind. Critics argue that while statistics may show small improvements, people on the ground are still struggling with low wages, long NHS wait times, and limited opportunities. Many believe that after more than two decades, Welsh Labour should have delivered better results, especially in areas like healthcare, education, and economic development.
With elections looming and public trust becoming harder to secure, this debate may be a sign of what’s to come. Reform UK is trying to position itself as a real alternative, especially in areas where people feel neglected. Meanwhile, Welsh Labour faces the difficult task of defending its long-standing record while addressing calls for change and improvement. What happened in Parliament wasn’t just a shouting match—it was a preview of a much bigger political battle that’s only just beginning.
