## Key points

- Joe Martin says he was barred from speaking in the Senedd.
- He had raised a projection about demographic change by 2063.
- He argues the decision undermines free speech.

## Summary

Joe Martin, a Reform politician in the Welsh Parliament, says he was barred from speaking in the Senedd after asking the Welsh Government for a statement on a projection that White British people will become a minority in Great Britain by 2063. He presents the ruling as an attack on free speech and argues that elected representatives should be able to raise contentious issues.

Martin says Buckingham University is the source of the 2063 projection, but the article gives no further detail about its assumptions. He argues that immigration could weaken social cohesion if people do not assimilate, and criticises Labour and Conservative governments for bringing in millions of people. These claims and arguments are his; the article does not include a response from the Senedd or the presiding officer.
