The row brewing over whether Mark Drakeford's Pembrokeshire chalet counts as a second home

People in Wales have reacted to the news that Mark Drakeford has a chalet in Pembrokeshire and many couldn't care less. The First Minister has revealed that he has owned a property in West Wales for over two decades, but has said it is not a second home.

Mr Drakeford was answering questions as he stood alongside Plaid's Adam Price to announce the latest element of their attempt to reduce the demand for second homes in rural parts of Wales. Both party leaders were then asked if they had a second home.

Mr Price said that as an MS for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, he had a home in his constituency and a property in Cardiff. Meanwhile, Mr Drakeford said he, or his family, had owned what he called a chalet in Pembrokeshire for 27 years, and had also used second homes.
