Welsh Conservative leader Paul Davies resigns amid Senedd drinking row

Paul Davies said the controversy has become a 'distraction'
THE leader of the Welsh Conservatives has resigned after he was among a group of politicians who drank alcohol on the Senedd estate just days after a pub alcohol ban came into force.
Paul Davies said the controversy over the events, which took place in December, had become a “distraction” and he is standing down with “immediate effect” despite appeals from colleagues to continue.
He said in a statement: “Yesterday I indicated to the Conservative group in the Welsh Parliament that I wished to resign, but they urged me to reflect further, and we agreed to meet again on Monday.
