Questions to the first minister is an opportunity for the opposition parties to set the agenda.

The same goes for the first minister, depending on how he answers.

We already know some of the questions that Rhun ap Iorwerth will face because MSs have to apply via a ballot to ask them.

But questions from opposition leaders are an unknown quantity, which means a lot of eyes and ears will be on Reform’s Dan Thomas, Labour’s Ken Skates and Darren Millar from the Conservatives.

For Thomas, as for ap Iorwerth, this is a big moment.

Does he continue along the lines of what he’s said so far since the election, that Plaid should park constitutional arguments and focus on improving public services or does he have another line of attack up his sleeve?
