- Vaughan Gething has announced he is quitting as Wales's first minister.
In a statement, he said: "I have this morning taken the difficult decision to begin the process of stepping down as leader of the Welsh Labour Party and, as a result, first minister."
It comes after four ministers quit the Welsh government, telling Mr Gething they cannot get on with their jobs "without you standing down".

Another one bites the dust 😂😂😂
Exactly what went through my mind!!!
another one on 100k for the rest of their lives for serving a jolly short term.
Refusing to resign after losing a no confidence vote. The arrogance of it
They are narcissists not leaders
They are all seen kissing and hugging him.
Chancers and thieves most of them.
Astounding how Gethin let it get to this ... one cannot accept a £200,000 donations from some guy whose company has been convicted of breaking environmental laws ... But then when it surfaces, refuse to return the money.
He has also refused all help from his colleagues.to repay the money. Refused a colleague's offer to pay the money back for Gethin.
It was and is ludicrous behaviour.
Gethin is it seems incredibly arrogant and little loss to Wales or his political party.
I’m Welsh, he treated me with contempt when he was Minister for Health and dismissed a genuine complaint supported by evidence, good riddance.
Try a Welshman next time
Good ridance. First Drakefart now this guy
How about the Welsh elect someone better to lead them ?
We elected better than england did, before england.
Whoop whoop 🎉 from a Welshie 😊
I feel like leaders keep changing around the uk none stop
And the plans just go a head' we argue while the uno globalist party just keeps the mission going
Everyone of the recent ones were put in power by their party members, not voted in by the public. That's why they've all failed.
They aren't leaders. They are glorified civil servants.
Wales and Scotland quickly catching up to the UK Conservative Party in their number of First Ministers. LOL
Politicians should be changed regularly..like Underpants
The blokes a crook - end of !!!
So is Charlie "Bigears" Windsor. Remember the Harrods bags stuffed with cash.Bigears got away with it.

My family in Wales are staunch Labour, but the last election they wouldn't vote. Labour have wrecked the NHS and public services. Way worse then England
It's all gone pete tong rather quickly

Not at all, we have zero tory MPs and it is wonderful.

Yeah, a Westminster MP would never resign.
@@julianshepherd2038 lmao
@@julianshepherd2038the point is, he refused to resign despite losing a no confidence vote. The arrogance of it
this has become a great day, southgate quits , now vaughan , come on sadiq khan please copy them .
Better late than never.
Starmer is next,the hard left will oust him within 6 months 😂😂
nice
Unions will see to him pdq
Yep, though I've always said within 18 months, once the litany of failures have piled up, together with the continued rapid rise of the Right.
In your dreams
Starmer,same pot as Tories,no money in pot . Draw your own conclusions.
So, he got caught fiddling the books, yet he's stepping down to give the Welsh people a voice? Yeah, right!
It absolutely amazed me that after all they did to Wales the people voted them back in???? like Turkeys longing for Christmas?
I can’t believe hat the Welsh keep voting Labour; what have they done for them?
Nothing....😂😅
Hallelujah.....
This will be a terrible loss - to the people who funded him. Now let's hope a minister who actually care about Wales will replace him.
Not racist to say this was a very arrogant man. Wales can do a lot better
Not much better off labour. But then thats the fault of Wales for not getting rid of labour
Not racist at all. Actions are more important than skill colour.
Boris Johnson was also arrogant, he got away with worse , I wonder why???
@@knightyknight5399 Nobody was allowed to leave their homes at the time? He was in real power as the PM, not a mickey Mouse power job in the Senedd? Daddy knew people? Anyway, like Mr Gething, he got found out, lost his job, so what did either of them get away with?
@@knightyknight5399 Boris was forced out and gets called all the names under the sun
so thats 4 out of 4 for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales
The clown show grinds ever onwards in Wales.
Labour corruption.
What's the corruption?
@@mikeenwright2622 Treason against the people and country he vowed to protect !
@@mikeenwright2622 Vaughan Gething took £200,000 for his election campaign from a businessman twice convicted for environmental offences (dumping toxic waste in Wales). This amount far exceeds any previous donations. The environmental company owes £400,000 to a bank wholly owned by the Welsh Government. Vaughan Gething refused to return the money.
@@dcoughla681 I have heard there is a few of them Labour MP's connected with this. Its been going on for the last few months. Starmer is a close friend of his too.
@@dcoughla681 Thanks for that.👍🏾👍🏾
I think it was the ban on free drink refills which finally pushed them over the edge 😂
If only the mayor of London would follow suit.
At least he was elected.. Probably.
@@captnaberystwyth2879Only 38% of voters turned out, (and we all know who they were! ) And the rest were to dam lazy to bother. So London reaps what it sows. The British Natives had a chance to get rid of Kahn, and failed miserably. 🤬
@@Worldagenda24 maybe so.. But the others all got put there and were not put up for election.
So we are told 38% ?@@Worldagenda24
@@Worldagenda24 Turnout was 40.5% so at least try and be honest. So 59.5% were happy with status quo. Sadik Khan has won a record 3 Mayoral elections in London. He has had higher turn out that Boris Johnson and Kevin Livingstone. Previous voter turn out in 2021 was 42%, 46% in 2016, 38% in 2012, 45% in 2008, 37% in 2004 and 34% in 2000.
Cry some more!
Riddance
good
I think the doing away with 3s for 2s in supermarkets and not replenishing drinks in restaurants was the last straw
I wonder what is below the surface that is not being reported.
The Tories are the third party in Wales, so a good reporter would have quoted the second party, Plaid Cymru. Why the random Tory bias?
Good point. Sky were lazy in this reporting
So much for the first black welsh minister- bit of a pattern happening across politics with ethnic ministers ?????
Yeah. It's as if they're not appointed on reasons of merit, but for other reasons. 🤔
@@AndrewWilliams-ry6tb
Exactly, i’m sick of it !
bigfoot with a fake welsh name

@@spudspuddyhe is half Welsh,half Zambian so his name is not fake
Isant this the second time ? He had a vote of no confindence a few months ago and he burst into tears ? Probaly not the ideal chap for the job ?
That vote was essentially unofficial. It was basically just gaging opinions in the Senedd.
Also, as the guy said, he probably would have won it but some labour mps were missing. They requested to allow mps to vote if they weren't physically there, and the tories rejected.
brilliant out
Why don't they vote in a Welshman
He was welsh

Great news
How did he get in there though?
Melanin!
voted in.
dinghy
@@MisterBurtonshaw Not by us.
He was not voted in. Just like the rest haven't been.
As I live in Wales I can't say I'm that happy because we will probably end up with someone even worse. I don't think he was any worse than Mark Drakeford and quite frankly didn't display the same level of contempt and hatred for anyone who disagreed with him. Wales will always be govererned by the Labour party, its every bit as traditional as leaks, daffodils, rugby and male voice choirs.
Could anyone be worse than Drakeford
A Welshman would be a idea... but one that takes his orders from the Welsh people not Brussels or Davos.
Vaughan Gething obviously in line for the England job.
Politicians should be changed regularly..like Underpants
Another fraud stepped down difficult my R’s
An utter waste of space!
WE ARE NOT SURPRISED***
That was quick
he was corrupt taking bribes from day one, he didn't waste time
The south Wales council embarrasses us once again. This man should never be allowed near politics
Starmer must have thought it was a new series of This Is Your Life with his red book.
Not fit for purpose.
Good! Who's next then?
More to follow.

Bags of money from a dodge guy. He learnt that from Charlie "Bigears" Windsor.
VG was only leader of Welsh Labour and first minister of Wales because he ticked a box.
Jolly good show
Starmer out within months. Corbyn as PM.

He definitely looks Welsh 🤔
Didn’t know there were so many racists in Wales! Get over it some Welsh are mixed including Shirley Bassey!
What’s happening to Wales 🤔

Are there any actual Britons in the UK anymore?
It is odd how there seems to be a growing tendency to rubbish Mark Drakeford, now that he has retired. People seem to have forgotten how, during Covid, he was a First Minister who, by and large, commanded respect and support alongside his Minister of Health, then Vaughan Gething. This despite some fairly obvious mistakes having been made.
We will never know whether Vaughan Gething would have made a good First Minister. Maybe if he had immediately apologised for having accepted the £200,000 donation to help his campaign, and immediately paid it back, he might (even should) have survived. For me, having justified removing his Minster (did he even need to give reasons?) and then failing to show evidence for those reasons, did for him.
I say this as someone who does not vote, and never have voted, Labour or Conservative..
I cannot help wondering, myself, whether the Senedd is really value for money at the moment. It seems to me to be following the English model of concentrating everything in the South, and in Cardiff in particular. I am definitely not in favour of increasing its membership by 60%, anywhere, but certainly not in Cardiff.
Yes, the Senedd is very Cardiff centric. Most of the money that was actually of benefit to the people of Wales came from the EU.
How ironic that the majority of Wales voted to leave the EU.
Good.
Sounds sensible
Didn't he just get the job?
He will get the usual Golden Handshake ......In his case it will be around the £500k mark.
Senedd started well with good Government but the introduction of Welsh Speakers Only has led it to Village Politics.
note - 5 people speak Welsh in Cardiff Swansea Newport
What? Gething is the first FM who can’t speak Welsh!
@@Knappa22 dont know about that... Because the statistics shows that less than 30 percent of Welsh can speak Welsh...
@@adamdaniel8909 Alun Michael, Rhodri Morgan, Carwyn Jones and Mark Drakeford were all Welsh speakers
@@Knappa22 damn... They're in that 30 percent...
