The claim
“The first minister threatened to cause a row within Labour by asking her colleagues in Westminster to "halt" plans to put 27 radar dishes at Cawdor Barracks in Brawdy, Pembrokeshire.”

Mostly True
The claim that the first minister asked colleagues to halt the radar plans is supported by her public call for a pause reported in Swanseabaynews.com; the additional assertion that she threatened to cause a row within Labour is not independently corroborated but aligns with the article's reporting.
