From what I heard the AM's have said they wont take the payrise BUT instead they have deferred the decision until October (when no doubt they will take it - when the heat is off) - you can bet the house they will take it then.

All the staff at the WAG will be getting the payrise though.

The welsh economy is screwed for the forseeable future - tourism gone, accommodation gone, food and drink gone, manufacturing stopped. The only things left are public sector jobs (they dont make money) and possibly people working for online delivery companies.

Not seen the worst of it yet either - when the furlough ends - companies will then decide whether to close or scale down.

Meanwhile Drakeford seems to have sort of 5 mile fetish and a need to just be different than Westminster. The one benefit to come from all this - is to shine alight on the utter waste of space we have as first minister. Is there a 'second minister' ? if so - we need to make a substitution :)

Considering their responsibilities,weight of expectation, frenetic workload and pressure they must all be under, I think the pay is justifiable and think they should have more...

In industry, those salaries are paid to people who are usually competent and very sharp. None of that applies here, but the pay is competitive. Something is wrong..

Nice warm clean environment to work in , reasonable hours + expenses . Yes compared to a doctor / nurse the pressure on them must be enormous ,

I don't thing those figures are excessive for those jobs that come with a lot of responsibility . the problem is they are not taking responsibility.

Don't suppose with that salary we'll see Drakeford in the socially distancing queue for Aldi anytime soon.
