The chairman of the Conservative Party has insisted the Welsh Conservatives are "absolutely" a government-in-waiting despite polling data showing Labour would get almost double the vote share in a Senedd election.
Speaking to WalesOnline at the Welsh Conservative Party conference in Newport on Saturday, Greg Hands MP cited the "record-largest Senedd team for the Conservatives," as evidence of Tory success in Wales and added: "Andrew RT Davies has got a great team, really capable people."
Mr Davies' style as Tory leader has involved a sudden pivot to a provocative and "downright bizarre" style on social media which was divisive among the party members we spoke to, some of whom said "senior figures in the party are getting fed up with his embarrassing and erratic behaviour."
