A Welsh Reform UK leader has resigned following his arrest on suspicion of assault and coercive or controlling behaviour, marking a significant shift for the party in Wales. The former Tory councillor, who took over as the party’s Welsh leader earlier this year, had previously been elected to the Senedd as leader of the opposition in the recent election.
