Personal attacks on social media put women off standing for leader of Welsh Labour, says Mark Drakeford.

Mr Drakeford said he was disappointed there were no female candidates, and denied there was a problem with the "pipeline" of talent in the party.

Earlier this week the first minister announced he would stand down in March.

The ballot closes on Thursday but the two women considered front-runners to stand, Eluned Morgan and Hannah Blythyn, have ruled themselves out.
