Very sad indeed and my thoughts and condolences go out to Mark Drakeford, his family and loved ones

Politics completely aside, this is a tragedy for him, as it would be for any other family and the appropriate decorum will ensue :cry:

Not a fan of him personally, but it’s awful when someone so close is lost.
