FAR-RIGHT Reform UK has dropped its Welsh leader after he said immigration in Wales has had a positive effect on the country.

Oliver Lewis has confirmed to BBC Wales that Nigel Farage’s party has axed him, and he will not be a candidate in next year’s Senedd election.

Mr Lewis represented Reform UK in Wales during last year’s general election campaign but has been dropped after a spat with party Chairman Zia Yusuf over his immigration comments.
