@kimberlybiscuits.bsky.socialI’ll be at the Political Communication Summit 2026 in Vienna next week. Joining 500+ political pros to learn best practices in #politicalcommunication. I plan to apply what I learn across my client work and in my volunteer role leading comms at @voltireland.org

@perkinskeighley.bsky.social🧵 6/6
We examined how broadcast, online & social media news covered the Senedd election & how balanced the reporting was across the election period - which was particularly interesting in a new multi-party environment.

Interestingly, despite introducing a new electoral system partly to improve proportionality, the result was only marginally more proportional than in 2021.

Welsh Labour – historically the dominant party of devolved Welsh politics – failed to reach 17% of the vote in any constituency.

Turnout exceeded 50% for the first time in Senedd election history.

More than two-thirds of the 96 elected Members had never previously served in the Senedd while Plaid Cymru & Reform UK together secured 77 seats.

@perkinskeighley.bsky.socialJust how much did the 2026 Senedd election transform Welsh politics?
New analysis from Senedd Research, Welsh Parliament captures the scale of May’s change.

@perkinskeighley.bsky.social🧵 3/3
It shows how misinformation does not always depend on fabricated content: sometimes an authentic image, stripped of its original context, is enough to help generate new hostility around an already sensitive issue.

The flag was also flown briefly in 2026 to mark Pakistan’s Independence Day, but the reuse of an older image as though it documented the current moment is important.

@perkinskeighley.bsky.social🧵 1/3
In this case, a photograph documenting a civic event has been recontextualised within narratives of cultural “domination” & national identity.

@perkinskeighley.bsky.socialA photograph of the Pakistani flag flying over Cardiff Castle has resurfaced on social media - two years later - & contributing to a fresh wave of anger around national identity, immigration & belonging.
