NEWS outlet Nation.Cymru said today that Hannah Blythyn was not the source of its deleted texts story that led to her sacking from the Welsh government — and accused First Minister Vaughan Gething of lying.

Nation.Cymru’s chief executive Mark Mansfield said Mr Gething had failed to behave with integrity by suggesting he had “incontrovertible evidence” that the former social partnership minister was the source of their story.

He said that following his response on Wednesday to her personal statement to the Senedd, “in this unprecedented situation, the board of Nation.Cymru does not consider we can stand by and see Ms Blythyn’s reputation unjustly besmirched by the First Minister.”
