"I really wanted to come, but when I heard that half the guests were Welsh, I thought: 'That's far too many foreigners for me'."
"Gutted I couldn't attend the wedding. I wanted to come, but I heard that half the guests were Welsh and, I don't know. Who knows what would have happened with all those foreign speakers there."
"Here we have it clear as day - Farage's disdain for the people of Wales and the Welsh language."
"Reform was not fit to be anywhere near power in Wales."
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage recorded a wedding message through the Cameo platform in which he referred to Welsh people as 'foreign speakers.' The video was created following a script request from a Cameo user who asked Farage to describe half of wedding guests as 'foreigners' because they were Welsh. Welsh Labour, Plaid Cymru, and the Welsh Liberal Democrats all condemned the video, with critics arguing it demonstrated disdain for Wales and the Welsh language. Farage's spokesperson stated the videos should not be treated as political statements or campaign activity. The controversy emerged seven weeks before Wales' Senedd election, where Reform is attempting to lead the next Welsh government.
