To lose one leader to being arrested for committing crimes could be a fluke, to lose a second looks like Reform Wales are a bag of complete wrong 'uns.
People forget what the expression actually means.
Corruption spreads particularly amongst selfish people. Once one person starts to be corrupt others see that they're getting away with it and they start being corrupt too, after all why not, everyone else is doing it.
Of course none of this is helped by the fact that reform only exist as a political party for the benefit of the hyper wealthy so corruption was basically baked into its structure from the beginning. But that's only for Farage and the parties upper echelon, not counselors, they're not supposed to be on the take.
Complete speculation, but it could be related to the party he's leading or staff considering how quick the resignation came. Otherwise I am sure he would've dragged his heels and said that domestic and professional life are distinct. Apparently there have been some issues within the party in Wales in terms of unity (as demonstrated by the defection).

Could be a few things. Drugs. Sexual crimes. Unhappy with frog face. Fraud. People trafficking. Treason. Arson. I wouldn't bet against any of them!

This doesn't mean he's not a nonce - just that the official statement says this is what he was initially arrested for.

I don't speak cop, WTH does that mean?

It's a little non-specific I guess
Normally domestic abuse and/or assault, I think - though sometimes used with some forms of slavery or trafficking.

Well as they say, it's always the people you most suspect.
