Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies has undergone a remarkable change in tone in his social media output of late.
Always vocal on Twitter, I suggested in an opinion article that Mr Davies had taken a populist turn in terms of what he was putting out through his online platform. In the space of a month he tweeted more than 20 times about trans people. He has also begun regularly using phrases such as "slippery Starmer" and labelling Welsh Government ministers the "New Elite" which are "imposing their extreme woke ideology".
Observers on Twitter have labelled the change in tone "Trumpian" and this analysis of his social media conduct has suggested it risks making the Welsh Tories less electable and not more. But what do Tories in Wales actually think of their leader's behaviour? To try and find out, I spoke to several party supporters, members and insiders to guage their mood.
