Why is there material about Drakeford's son in there? The article is about Drakeford, not his son. I propose it is removed. Arcturus ( talk) 12:55, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
I think we need to add more to the First Minister section of this article, it only has two paragraphs. Ciaran.london ( talk) 23:12, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

His wife died, not him! 90.254.178.177 ( talk) 18:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
In the personal life section his wife is aged 71 at death, where is the source for this? On The Sun's article covering her death, it states she was 66, I can't find a mention of her being 71. I'd also suggest revising the entire section. 31.205.214.108 ( talk) 00:23, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Mark Drakeford has a son currently imprisoned for sexual abuse Why is this not documented ? 81.77.165.63 ( talk) 14:40, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
The non-cited text here needs citation and verification, particularly because this article is of a living person and Mark Drakeford has a relatively high profile in Wales. Thanks Titus Gold ( talk) 23:34, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
I moved and enlarged the paragraph about Drakeford's resignation announcement to the main section, also editing it to distinguish the roles of Welsh Labour Party leader and Welsh First Minister.
I have not had time to check the Welsh-language translation for the same issue. Perhaps another editor more fluent in Welsh than I am could fix it, as this is breaking news. Cwilsyn ( talk) 14:36, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
immediate effect, which contradicts with the Guardian source quoting him saying
"my intention to stand down as leader of Welsh Labour in March 2024". [1] Just saying I find a direct quote more reliable than Politico's interpretation of a quickly developing situation, but probably more clearer soon. Not sure why the Welsh translation matters? Did Drakeford announce it in Welsh? Dank Jae 15:37, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
but the rest of the article only states:Drakeford held a press conference to announce his intention to resign as Welsh Labour leader with immediate effect.
andOn 13 December 2023, he announced his intention to resign as Leader of the Welsh Labour Party, although he would remain as First Minister until his successor was chosen, which is expected to be before Easter 2024.
so nothing on "press conference" or "immediate effect". Sorry.On 13 December 2023, Drakeford announced his intention to resign, and step down after his replacement has been selected in a leadership contest anticipated to be in March 2024.
