Plaid Cymru’s front-bench spokesman on health and social services MABON AP GWYNFOR, in a two-part series, analyses the Caerphilly by-election and the wider political scene in Wales ahead of the 2026 Senedd election
LEE ANDERSON is a comically right-wing MP, blurting out ludicrous reactionary brain-farts whenever he can. In Lee World, nurses use foodbanks because they can’t manage “their own finances.”
Anyone else uses foodbanks because “you’ve got generation after generation who cannot cook properly” and “cannot budget.” Because decent meals only cost “30p a day.”
Other greatest hits from “30p Lee” include accusing the National Trust of being “coloured by cultural Marxist dogma” — colouring reds-under-the-beds hysteria with an anti-semitic tinge — calling Black Lives Matter a “political movement whose core principles aim to undermine our very way of life” and claiming footballers who took to one knee in protest against racism were “alienating traditional supporters.”
