Reform UK is facing fresh turmoil after its Welsh leader stepped down following his arrest on suspicion of assault and controlling or coercive behaviour. The resignation, announced on Tuesday, 15 September 2026, has intensified scrutiny of the party's leadership and direction.
'Over the weekend, I was reported to the police and was released without charge. I stress that I have done nothing wrong, but I do not want the coming headlines to be a distraction from the fantastic work our Senedd team is doing in holding this government to account,' Dan Thomas said in a statement released on Tuesday, 15 September 2026.
