    The counsel general, Mick Antoniw, the housing minister, Julie James, the economy and energy secretary, Jeremy Miles, and the culture minister, Lesley Griffiths, resigned earlier in the day.
    Gething has been criticised over the source of a political donation, the transparency of his disclosures to the Covid-19 inquiry from his time as health minister, and his decision to dismiss a minister after accusing her of leaking information to the media. 'I have never, ever misused or abused my ministerial responsibilities,' Gething said
