Plaid Cymru won a historic victory in the Caerphilly by-election, trouncing Labour who had been dominant for over 100 years.

The “middle child” as Plaid’s new MS describes them, also beat Reform, who pollsters expected to win the seat.

In this episode, Harry Clarke-Ezzidio reports from Caerphilly to analyse the results of the election. He speaks to Rhun ap Iorwerth, Huw Irranca-Davies, Llyr Powell, and Dan Evans.
