Da iawn #MarkDrakeford - a brilliant and passionate speech on behalf of the most vulnerable in society. His #WelshLabour colleagues and #WelshGovernment should reflect long and hard on his case for reforming school holidays to help children in the poorest families.

#MarkDrakeford tells how it is. #Brexit disaster has cost #Wales over a billion pounds. Further Wales has been left isolated by the Brexit catastrophe. We have a duty to all in the UK to reunite with our #EU family. rb.gy/d6qw7u #RejoinEU #ForeverEuropean #StandWithUkraine

I would put money on that they do, and I don't gamble.

“When I stood for the leadership, I said that, if elected, I would serve for five years. Exactly five years have passed since I was confirmed as first minister in 2018,” Drakeford told reporters.

I'm not a #Labour supporter but I have a lot of respect for Mark Drakeford.

He's acted with honesty and integrity. He's always tried to do the right thing for people, sometimes in face of harsh criticism and short-term unpopularity.

The contrast between his reassuring and sensible approach during Covid with Boris Johnson's was stark.

Big thanks for him for working hard for Wales and I hope he enjoys whatever lies ahead.

Obviously there’s some problems here but when you think about it’s remarkable the extent to which Wales has largely escaped the trans panic
