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

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.
