Jeremy Miles enters race to succeed Mark Drakeford as Welsh first minister

The education minister joins Vaughan Gething, the economy minister, in contest

Jeremy Miles has entered the race to become Welsh first minister and said that as a young gay man from a working-class family he could never have imagined putting himself forward as the leader of Labour and Wales.

Miles, the education minister, joins the current economy minister, Vaughan Gething, in the contest to replace Mark Drakeford, who announced his resignation last week.
