Reform UK councillor David Thomas posted on social media that he had officially opened a new Lidl store in Cwmbran, but the supermarket contested this claim, stating no formal ceremony occurred. Thomas responded by criticizing Lidl for allegedly not wanting to align with his political party. This incident follows controversy around Thomas's past as he was listed as a composer of songs criticized for misogynistic language. Amidst the political fallout, he hopes to run for office again in the 2026 Senedd election, aiming for tighter political influence in Cardiff Bay.
