First Minister Mark Drakeford is facing a growing backlash over claims he made during a Senedd debate about the families of Covid victims in Wales. Campaigners had previously said the first minister had lied when he said they had moved on from demanding a Welsh-specific inquiry.
Politicians and campaigners are now continuing to pressure the First Minister to withdraw the claims. Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Conservatives have both written to Mr Drakeford calling on him to correct the record or clarify the remarks in the Senedd.
Speaking in the Senedd on Tuesday, the Welsh Labour leader had said that he believed: "From meetings I've had with them, that, unlike the leader of the opposition (Conservative Andrew RT Davies), they are moving on from continuing to ask for something which is not going to happen."
