Mark Drakeford commenting on a document that he claims shows that the UK Government were deliberately trying to restrict the ability of the Welsh Gov to follow the scientific advice to have a firebreak lockdown in autumn 2020. The Chair seems sceptical.

He’s so excited to drop this “smoking gun” that he jumps in his chair. Lady Hallett didn’t buy it. She said “we don’t have time to debate it”. Of course, a #WalesCovidInquiry would allow that time. Over to you Welsh Labour…

“…maybe its open for discussion but unfortunately we do not have enough time”. I wonder if we would have had more time with a Wales independent covid enquiry? 🤔🤔

He's a nauseating piece of work who has always blamed others for his mistakes.

I wouldn’t believe a word Drakeford says, usual blame game with him

We’d still be locked down if only Westminster would pay for it…

First Minister grasping at straws!

Tbh he has already said that he wouldn’t counter balance the socioeconomic factors with the ‘science’ so one I can see why the treasury is reserved in funding NPIs that are more extreme.

It’s just embarrassing for Wales he’s dithering on trying to make a point that isn’t there . The trouble is in Wales. He doesn’t get questioned about anything by his nodding dog of a cabinet . When somebody competent questions him, you can see his contempt

Yet again demonstrating there is no sensible case for Wales remaining in the union

Remember when the UK Gov set up a Covid mass testing centre in Cardiff without telling the Welsh Government (who were responsible for testing? Hard to believe right? The chair of the Covid inquiry certainly thinks so.

$🚨 | Mark Drakeford has gone to war with Welsh farmers - blaming them for the Welsh Government looking to reduce food production for tree planting because they voted for Brexit. ❌ There is no data showing more farmers voted for Brexit than Remain ❌ The Welsh Government could continue with exactly the same scheme as the EU - they have power to decimate farms now ❌ They have decided, not the farmers, to look to introduce a requirement that 10% of land needs to go to trees and 10% of land for wildlife ❌ It is the Welsh Government ministers who think reducing the food for the nation and planting more trees will change the Climate, despite being only a fraction of the planet that would make little change. ❌ Wales no doubt will be a better place when Mark Drakeford leaves post. His legacy is one of decimating the Welsh economy, Welsh NHS, Welsh Education system and draconian rule through Covid.$

Canadian PM Mark Carney: The U.S. introduced, at the last hours, efforts to restrict our ability to have other trade deals. We are the partner of choice for countries around the world, and the Americans wanted to restrict that. Unacceptable!

Welsh First Minister, Labour's Mark Drakeford, has just said that the the UK Government's blocking of Holyrood's GRR Bill is wrong, a dangerous move, and he agrees with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon that it could be a slippery slope.

Bash: "Jeanine Pirro…said in a court document…that they were trying to send a man who was innocent to jail based on lies about vandalism. He was accused of crimes that he did not commit. As chair of the judiciary committee, does that bother you?" Rep. Jordan: "If those are the facts, of course. But I don't know that those are the facts."

Taxpayers have a right to understand what their money is being spent on. In my committee, I was pleased to convince the Welsh Government's Minister for Government Effectiveness that the quality of some of the data it publishes to the public is woeful and needs to be fixed. Another example of Reform holding the Welsh Government to account in opposition.

Mark Drakeford got really angry with the leader of Plaid Cymru Rhun ap Iorwerth in the Senedd (Welsh Parliament) yesterday This isn't a nice look. Welsh Labour are attempting to argue that Wales did well out of yesterday's spending review. While it is indisputable Wales got more money, it is hard to argue that long term historic injustices in funding have been fixed.

The UK Covid-19 Inquiry heard today that the government "slowed down" its Covid response in the summer of 2020, because they "wanted to believe that Covid was over." 8/10 Covid deaths have occurred after that slowdown We were told they followed the science. That was a lie.

Women born in the 1950s have suffered a double injustice: being denied their state pension, and having a UK government that *used to acknowledge* that fact now refuse to give them what they're owed. I pressed the Welsh Government to take a role in mediation for these women 💜
