Political Thinking with Nick Robinson · 'A bad start even before he starts' - Welsh First Minister on why trouble's brewing with Burnham · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

They've got thirty four seats in the Welsh Senate. matched

They are matched

a big force now. matched

I think what I'm recalling is a conversation I had where I raised the issue of immigration. matched

And you have talked about Wales being a a nation that welcomes people. matched

You talked about the fact there's no such thing as illegal immigration, you've said. matched

And we I talked to you about a particular man and you said you could persuade him not to vote reform, you told me, by telling him not to turn against his neighbour. matched

Well I remember that. matched

Your language, not his language, I suspect, or many other people's language, but under your description, that's almost a third of people in Wales have matched

So you expect 'cause I think even in your constituency people have been arrested for quotes illegal migration. matched

You get why people think the system's out of control. matched

To listen more though to those sorts of voters and their concerns, because one, as you know, of the new members of the Senate, a reform member, made a controversial speech the other day where he asked a question which I suspect many voters in your constituency would ask, which is why are we employing nurses from India rather than training them here in Wales? matched

Now it was done in a way to be provocative. matched

It's clear I think it's fair to matched

say that he wanted to get his speech clipped up on social media for saying something controversial. matched

But a lot of the members of your party simply walked out. matched

Oh, we're not listening to this, they said. matched

Um So you have to listen not just to him, but to people who will share those views. matched

Yes. matched

But is that is that because potentially because the Assembly as it was, the Parliament, the Senate as it now is, was in what some people call the Cardiff Bay bubble? matched
