Jeremy Corbyn answers question on whether Carwyn Jones should resign

Credit: PA

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn responded to questions following a speech in west London on whether the Welsh First Minister, Carwyn Jones should resign.

This follows the death of former Welsh Government minister Carl Sargeant, who was sacked last week after allegations about his personal conduct.

His (Mr Sargeant's) death is a terrible tragedy. His family is devastated.

He was suspended last week. This tragedy happened a few days later.

Clearly an inquest will follow. Inquiries will then follow. We will have to await the outcome of those. It would be wrong for any speculation by me or anybody else to take place on those circumstances.

– Jeremy Corbyn, Labour Party Leader
