Cheshire Cat Musings

Cheshire Cat Musings is one of several anti-devolution blogs and social media accounts that provide regular commentary supporting Reform UK and attacking the Senedd. Run by Damien Davies (who is also identified as a key driver behind unionist Facebook groups), it forms part of the networked online ecosystem that amplifies anti-devolution messaging.

Cheshire Cat Musings occupies a specific niche in the anti-devolution digital landscape: providing regular, personality-driven political commentary that frames itself as plain-spoken common sense against what it characterises as the Senedd's self-serving political class. The 'straight-talking' brand is strategically important because it positions anti-devolution arguments as populist truth-telling rather than constitutional extremism. By combining attacks on the Senedd with explicit support for Reform UK, the blog serves as a conversion funnel: readers who arrive through frustration with a specific Welsh Government policy are gradually exposed to a broader anti-devolution and pro-Reform narrative. The connection to Damien Davies, who is reportedly behind multiple unionist Facebook groups, suggests a coordinated approach to anti-devolution digital campaigning that is more organised than it might appear from any single account.
