Co-conspirators may remember the Welsh LibDem William Powell – whose name appeared on the site during the selection for the LibDems’ only Welsh Senedd seat – during the affair that saw the Welsh LibDem leader Jane Dodds caught out lying about being in Wales despite residing in leafy Richmond. Powell’s victory raised eyebrows at the time, given he’d previously received a written warning from the party over allegations he gave three young women absinthe before trying to touch one of them and put his hands around their waists. Not the best start to his campaign efforts this year…

Powell is putting that behind him and moving on, however, today mobilising troops to try and win his seat in the Welsh Senedd. Guido’s eye couldn’t help being caught by one of his supporters, though: tagged in multiple tweets from Powell, top OnlyFans creator Hannah Veillet.

Local to the area, Veillet clearly makes good use of social media, advertising her content as well as the beautiful Brecon countryside.

Guido would love to know how Hannah met William and what convinced her to support him… 

The Welsh Liberal Democrat leader, whom Guido revealed skipped the tough Welsh lockdown by slumming it in leafy London borough of Richmond, has failed to win the selection contest to defend the Welsh LibDems’ only seat in the Assembly. It was AM Kirsty Williams’s decision not to contest the only LibDem Assembly seat again that caught Dodds out, as she paid tribute to the retiring politician on the news from her London home. Despite her top position in the party, and having narrowly won the Westminster seat there in the 2019 by-election, she somehow managed to lose the selection…

Things only get better for Welsh LibDem party’s reputation, however, as the victor in the internal contest William Powell has previously been given a formal written warning over allegations he tried to kiss a LibDem activist when she was 17. The state of the parties, national assembly leadership and Covid rates: it’s hardly a ringing endorsement of devolution…
