Clare Drakeford, Wife of Welsh First Minister Dies Suddenly
The wife of the First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford has died suddenly, the locally devolved government in Wales announced on Saturday.
UPDATE 1800: Reactions
Reacting to the death of Clare Drakeford, the wife of Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford, his counterpaRT in Scotland, the Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said according to the BBC: "My thoughts are with Mark and his family at this terribly sad time".
Sturgeon, the leader of the leftist-separatist Scottish National PaRTy (SNP) added that when she met Mrs Drakeford it was "obvious how strong the bond between her and Mark was".
"I can only imagine the depth of grief he is feeling. Sending him love and strength," Sturgeon said.
The leader of the opposition Conservative PaRTy in the local Welsh Parliament (Senedd), Andrew RT Davies said that he was "shocked and deeply saddened" when he heard of her passing.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Mark Drakeford and his family at this exceptionally difficult time," Davies said, adding: "On the occasions I met Clare, she was always a lovely lady and was very warm and kind."
The original story follows below:
Clare Drakeford, the longtime wife of Mark Drakeford, who has served as the leader of the left-wing Welsh Labour PaRTy and the First Minister of Wales since 2018, has died suddenly. The couple had been married since 1977 and had three children together.
Announcing her passing, a spokesman for the locally devolved Welsh government, which serves roughly a similar role in the UK to a state government in the United States, said on Saturday: "It is with deep sadness that we confirm the sudden passing of Clare Drakeford, wife of the First Minister.
"The thoughts of everyone in the Welsh Government are with the family at this time and we ask that their privacy is respected."

Q Research General #14378: Countdown to Election"
Big Government Bans Supermarkets from Selling 'Non Essentials' in Lockdown Wales
Wales's First Minister Mark Drakeford has said that supermarkets will not be able to sell 'non-essential' goods like clothing during a 17-day lockdown.
From 6 pm on Friday to midnight on November 9th, Wales will see many retailers close, apaRT from shops which sell food like supermarkets, as well as pharmacies and off-licences.
There had been a complaint in the Welsh parliament that clothing shops and hardware stores had to close, while supermarkets were still open to sell similar products. The Welsh leader's solution was, instead of allowing those shops to remain open, to ban larger retailers from selling 'non-essentials' entirely.
Claiming the move would create a "level playing field" for small businesses, Mr Drakeford said on Thursday according to the BBC: "We will be making it clear to supermarkets that they are only able to open those paRTs of their business that provide essential goods to people."
Andrew RT Davies, a Conservative member of the Welsh assembly, responded to the announcement by saying that "the power is going to their heads," mocking the Labour-led regional government by asking: "Is a flagon of Strongbow deemed essential? What about some much-needed underpants if you're caught shoRT?"

"According to the Welsh Labour Government, COVID can now tell whether you're shopping for some milk or a cardigan! Like all good socialists, they always think they know what's best for us. And like all good eastern block communists leaders they do it all to keep us 'safe'," Mr Davies said.
Former Conservative Member of European Parliament (MEP) Daniel Hannan also remarked on the bizarre rule, saying: "How is this supposed to slow the infection rate? Or is it just some weird Labour anti-capitalist thing?"
Senior Tory MP Tom Tugendhat said: "There's a difference between giving advice to keep people safe and trying to take over our lives. This is a step too far. What gives the Labour PaRTy the right to decide what families need?"
The Times's Grant Tucker repoRTed an image on Twitter of a Tesco supermarket in Pontypool covering so-called 'non-essentials' with plastic sheets, some of which appears to be bedding - essential items as the weather changes and nights become colder.
The move is reminiscent of the overjealous policing of shoppers during the UK's nationwide shutdown in March, with one police force threatening to check people's shopping baskets to make sure they were not buying 'non-essential' items. The leading police officer who made the remarks later apologised and claimed they had simply used "clumsy" language.
Convenience stores also complained of being harassed by police for selling Easter eggs, because they were 'non-essential'. One police force even summonsed for offences a group of people from the same household going to the shops "for non-essential items".

Coronavirus: 18,000 test results published by mistake (UK)
The details of more than 18,000 people who tested positive for coronavirus were published online by mistake by Public Health Wales.
The health body said the data of 18,105 Welsh residents was viewable online for 20 hours on 30 August.
Most cases gave initials, date of biRTh, geographical area and sex, meaning the risk of identification was low, Public Health Wales (PHW) said.
However 1,928 people in living in communal settings were more at risk.
Nursing home residents or those living in suppoRTed housing also had the name of their place of residence published, meaning the risk, while still considered low, was higher.
The incident was the result of "individual human error" when the information was uploaded to a public server searchable by anyone using the site.
PHW said the information had been viewed 56 times before it was removed but there was no evidence so far that the data had been misused.
What is Public Health Wales doing about the data breach?
Chief executive Tracey Cooper told BBC Wales the failure was one of the "biggest data breaches" she had come across and said it "should never have happened".
Dr Cooper also said Public Health Wales could have acted more quickly in removing the information.
The person who was aleRTed to the breach on the evening of 30 August after the information was posted at 14:00 that day did not follow the body's serious incident repoRTing procedures.
The data was not removed until 09:55 the next morning.
Finding out why is paRT of the terms of reference of an external investigation which will be carried out by NHS Wales Informatics Service. "I think we should have taken it down quicker," she said.
…
What has the reaction been?
Welsh Conservative spokesman on health, Andrew RT Davies MS, said: "I acknowledge that the risk is considered to be 'low', but I'm not sure that that will be much comfoRT to the nearly 2,000 residents of care homes or other enclosed settings whose - albeit limited - information was posted along with their place of residence.
"The health minister appears to have sat on this for two weeks and done a press conference earlier today without disclosing this significant failing - and that's unacceptable."
…
Second data breach
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and the Welsh Government have been informed. The ICO said it would be making inquires following the aleRT.
This is the second time a paRT of the Welsh NHS has had to refer itself to the ICO over a data breach during the pandemic.
In April, NHS Wales Informatics Services - the health service's IT arm - contacted the watchdog after 13,000 shielding letters were sent to the wrong addresses.
