A Zoom blunder from Wales's health minister left fellow politicians with their heads in their hands as he was heard swearing about a colleague with his microphone still on.

Vaughan Gething made the remarks after coming to the end of answering questions during a plenary session held over video call due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Referring to Jenny Rathbone, Assembly Member for Cardiff Central, he said to an unknown person: “What the f*** is the matter with her?”

There was a call of "no" as he went on and Elin Jones, presiding officer of the National Assembly for Wales, told Mr Gething to turn his microphone off.
