Mark Drakeford and Labour MSs vote for motion criticising their own roads review which cancelled dozens of major projects

Labour Senedd members including First Minister Mark Drakeford have voted for a motion criticising the Welsh Government's own Roads Review, which recommended the mass cancellation of upcoming roads projects.

Members including the First Minister and climate change minister Julie James voted for an amended Conservative motion which criticised a "lack of engagement" with the public and elected representatives.

As one MS after another stood up to detail the devastating impact of the cancelled projects on their constituents, Ms James defended the scheme and reiterated that public transport investment was still to come - but when it came to voting, Labour acknowledged the review's shortcomings.
