While Conservatives face potential wipeout, Plaid Cmyru made progress and Reform UK gained a foothold
The Conservatives suffered disastrous results in Wales, but experts have warned that challenging times lie ahead for Welsh Labour under Keir Starmer.
Among the poor results for the Tories was the loss of the Vale of Glamorgan, where the former Welsh secretary Alun Cairns was beaten by Labour. Labour regained Bridgend in south Wales and Wrexham in the north from the Tories, while Plaid Cymru took Ynys Môn (Anglesey).
