The former presiding officer of the Assembly says he'll stay away from the Senedd when tributes are paid to Margaret Thatcher. Dafydd Elis-Thomas told the BBC that AMs should be allowed to mark her death. But he said that he couldn't take part because he disagreed so profoundly with all her policies.
