NEW First Minister Eluned Morgan announced her cabinet today with a shock return of Mark Drakeford to government.
The former first minister has been brought back into government on an interim basis into his old job as cabinet secretary for health and social care. Mr Drakeford is standing down as a Senedd member in 2026.
The big surprise was no job for Jeremy Miles who was favourite to replace Vaughan Gething as FM, but instead stood aside and nominated Ms Morgan on a unity ticket.
