Mark Drakeford wants a General Election as soon as possible after his party celebrated good local election results in Wales. His party regained control of some councils it lost five years ago, but it also lost control of Neath Port Talbot and one of its prominent council leaders lost her seat.
The Welsh Labour leader said he was "delighted" to win the most seats in Monmouthshire. The Conservatives have been in control of that council since 2017 but had a disastrous night. You can see the results as they come in live here and see the full results together here.
The First Minister said: "It's been a very good day for Labour right across Wales but especially where we've been up against the Tories as our main opponent. I think you're seeing that right across Cardiff. Certainly the most striking case of all is in Monmouthshire where we have not only taken the council out of Tory control but Labour is now the largest party and within striking distance of forming an administration in our own right, and I think that is just a remarkable result."
