First minister Mark Drakeford resigns, what's next for Wales?

Yesterday Wales’s first minister Mark Drakeford announced his resignation, after exactly five years in office. He drew tributes for his tenure at PMQs from both leaders, with Keir Starmer describing him as “a true titan of Welsh politics”. Who will be the next Welsh leader? How will this affect Labour's general election campaign in Wales? And what will Mark Drakeford's lasting legacy be? Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Matt Hexter, host of the Welsh politics podcast Hiraeth, political consultant and former adviser to Welsh Labour MPs.
