Transparency messaging: "Cai Parry-Jones says transparency will be central to Reform's approach in Wales & won't hide the 'plush lifestyle' enjoyed by politicians for decades"
Welsh-language backlash over Union Jack comments: "Mae'r Aelod o'r Senedd, Cai Parry-Jones o Reform, yn dweud y byddai'n well ganddo weld Jac yr Undeb yn hedfan y tu allan i'r Senedd yn lle baner Wcráin"
Sarcasm: "Wow, you Reformers are certainly spending a lot of time in the Senedd toilets. Did you bump into Cai Parry Jones?"
Criticism: "About a week ago, Cai Parry-Jones lambasted the Tories and promised you were going to be (unlike them) serious opposition"
"I'm thinking Cai should start calling himself Cai RT P" (suggesting he should change party again)
