In February this year, Ieuan Wyn Jones claimed on a Plaid Cymru website that the number of pensioners living in poverty had risen sharply to almost 160,000.
This means a quarter of Welsh pensioners living below 60 per cent of national average wage.
When I asked Carwyn Jones about this he replied that he was not responsible for the contents of a Plaid Cymru website.
Older people deserve dignity and respect in their old age, not a First Minister who, when faced with official statistics, treats them both with contempt.
