Yesterday, I appeared before the Welsh Affairs Select Committee to criticise the performance of the Welsh Labour Government. Within minutes, the First Minister, Mark Drakeford, had resigned. I’ll take that as a win.
For as much as one must acknowledge a life devoted to public service, I can only applaud the decision of the First Minister to step aside. Whether pushed out by Starmer in another purge of the left or not, there will only be a devoted few who will miss him. There is no metric on which Mark Drakeford was a success during his tenure in charge.
