Hefin David height - How tall is Hefin David?

In September 2019 David was found to have breached Welsh Assembly standards of conduct after making remarks on Twitter. David re-tweeted a message by a constituent that the Welsh football team "has been hijacked" by the Welsh independence movement, and that "politics and sport should not be linked." The constituent received an opposing reply from a Plaid Cymru member, to which David replied by calling the Plaid user an "utter knob" and a "coc oen".

The Assembly’s standards commissioner Sir Roderick Evans found the language was "abusive". David disagreed with the commissioner's categorisation, instead describing the remarks as "insulting". He further argued his response was affected by the "huge amount of abuse on Twitter" received by politicians. David chose to formally apologise for the incident, in the process avoiding a formal reprimand in the chamber.

Until May 2017 he was a councillor for ward of St Cattwg on Caerphilly County Borough Council. During the 2012- 2017 term, he was chair of a number of committees including Policy and Resources Scrutiny.
