Reform MS banned from speaking in the Senedd, BBC Wales asks

BBC Wales has published a video asking why a Reform MS has been banned from speaking in the Senedd. The video is titled "Why has a Reform MS been banned from speaking in the Senedd?"

MS is short for Member of the Senedd, an elected politician in the Welsh Parliament. The Senedd is commonly known by its Welsh name, and it sits in Cardiff.

The Senedd makes laws for Wales. It also agrees Welsh taxes and holds the Welsh Government to account, meaning it scrutinises the work of the ministers who run the devolved government in Cardiff Bay. These powers apply to Wales only, and not to the rest of the UK.
