THE Tories are under fire after its leader in Wales retweeted a rival party’s post calling for the abolition of the Welsh parliament.
Darren Millar retweeted a post from the Abolish the Assembly party, which ended with the words “Abolish it”, referring to the Senedd.
Welsh pro-independence party Plaid Cymru said Millar, the Welsh Tory leader, “has revealed his true colours”.
It comes as Millar’s party already faces an uphill battle before next May’s Senedd election.
A recent YouGov poll put the Welsh Tories in fourth place on 13%, behind Plaid Cymru, Reform and Labour.
Millar said the polling had motivated him to “work my socks off”.
Plaid Cymru MS Heledd Fychan said: "It’s time for Darren Millar to come clean. If he has U-turned on devolution having come under pressure from within his own party, he should say so."
She added: "If someone else is masquerading as the leader of the Tory group in the Senedd via social media, the people of Wales deserve to know that too.
“Whether it’s a case of changing their policy - despite the overwhelming support for devolution in Wales - or a case of someone else accessing the X account, one thing is for certain; the Tories just aren’t a serious party.”
Fychan went on: “If you can’t run a social media account you certainly can’t run a country.
"The Tories are in perpetual self-destruct mode and this could be the Abolish the Welsh Conservatives election in 2026. Plaid Cymru is the only credible party of government in 2026, with a relentless focus on Wales and a positive vision of what our nation can be.”
