Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:52 pm on 20 June 2017.
He is, indeed, right to say that sobriety is needed. It’s a shame he didn’t follow his own advice, I have to say. He quotes from a national newspaper. Well, as we all know, the papers are always correct about everything, and he has past experience of such things. He has gravely misjudged the mood, I believe, of our nation of Wales and the UK this afternoon. He has gravely misjudged the mood of this Chamber, I believe, and he must reflect, as somebody who has been in politics for many years, on the comments that he has made, and reflect as to whether, in fact, the comments that he has made reflect the humanity that we share in this Chamber, because I don’t believe that they do.
