Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- 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".

Refusing to resign after losing a no confidence vote. The arrogance of it
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.
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
Rishi, Humza and now Gethin gone. The UK is healing.
And Cranky !
😊
@@photoman3579 oh noooo Jimmie

None of them voted in by the people
They are narcissists not leaders
They are all seen kissing and hugging him.
Chancers and thieves most of them.
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.
The arrogance of the man is astounding for remaining in post so long. Hasn't devolution been 'wonderful' 'here in Wales' ~ in fact, all the devolved assemblies are a shambles.
Speak for yourself Wales.

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
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

So is Charlie "Bigears" Windsor. Remember the Harrods bags stuffed with cash.Bigears got away with it.

That didn’t last long. What a mess Wales is in.
Not at all, we have zero tory MPs and it is wonderful.
@IanDavidH I like it. Different culture completely.
@@MisterBurtonshaw yeah wet, get used to wearing an anorak every day
@@MisterBurtonshaw Labour run for 25 years. The worst performing NHS in the country; pitiful public services; and one of the lowest standards of school education in Western Europe. Congratulations!
All caused by the electorate...
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.
So, he got caught fiddling the books, yet he's stepping down to give the Welsh people a voice? Yeah, right!
I can’t believe hat the Welsh keep voting Labour; what have they done for them?
Nothing....😂😅
It's all gone pete tong rather quickly
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.
Oh dear . . . . . eating themselves alive 🐍
Humza white white white managed 13 months in Scotland truss 44 days, only took a budget for her to be pushed out, and now Wales 118 days ,like musical chairs politics.
It absolutely amazed me that after all they did to Wales the people voted them back in???? like Turkeys longing for Christmas?
What a joke this devolution is, usless.
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 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
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.👍🏾👍🏾
Deceit and Greed a downfall for many
this has become a great day, southgate quits , now vaughan , come on sadiq khan please copy them .
The clown show grinds ever onwards in Wales.
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. 🤔

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!
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
I think it was the ban on free drink refills which finally pushed them over the edge 😂
Why don't they vote in a Welshman
He was welsh
@@karenhastings8561
Should have gone to Specsavers
@@karenhastings8561 yeah right
He is Welsh ,his father is Welsh ,his grandfather and so forth
@@fnansjy456 oh yeah he's as much Welsh as Varadka was Irish, Fishi Rishi was English and Bumza Useless is a Jock
I think the doing away with 3s for 2s in supermarkets and not replenishing drinks in restaurants was the last straw
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.
Hallelujah.....
Riddance
good
A Welshman would be a idea... but one that takes his orders from the Welsh people not Brussels or Davos.
The south Wales council embarrasses us once again. This man should never be allowed near politics
brilliant out
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
I wonder what is below the surface that is not being reported.
How did he get in there though?
Melanin!
voted in.

He was not voted in. Just like the rest haven't been.

He shouldn't have got the job in the first place. So obviously incompetent
I guess the UKs trial of having diverse leaders has come to a premature end
Starmer must have thought it was a new series of This Is Your Life with his red book.
Byeeeeeee 👋 🎵"Another one bites the dust" 🎶
He was on a very short string........
This is why i want an independent Republic of England ; these small parts ofbthe UK want their own “ freedoms” and i want that too !
The regime in Wales ( like Scotland ) are a corrupt mess !
England is the worst state.
Great news
Made my day
That was quick
he was corrupt taking bribes from day one, he didn't waste time
What ????an useless , mega incompetent DEI appointment tyat has bee a huge fiasco is resigning..... noooo we need more DEI
Techno managerialist musical chairs.
All we need now is Starmer to resign.
VG was only leader of Welsh Labour and first minister of Wales because he ticked a box.
Will Gethin be entitled to a lifelong pension?
He definitely looks Welsh 🤔
Why are the people in the background applauding?
Didn’t know there were so many racists in Wales! Get over it some Welsh are mixed including Shirley Bassey!
More to follow.
Congratulations & Well done 🥳
lmao
Starmer out within months. Corbyn as PM.
That’d be amazing
Bags of money from a dodge guy. He learnt that from Charlie "Bigears" Windsor.
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.
I feel embarrassed quite frankly that I had to put up with his mess. He is a very arrogant man. The junior department of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff will be shut, and there is a petition, and last month Vaughan Gething was asked about it, and he said 'I'd ask the college to think again about the choice they made.' In other words, he didn't want to do anything about it. He's a very arrogant person indeed, and good riddance!
He "welshed " on the deal !

@@ScottishRoss27 ethnic racial makeup of Scotland is 96% native white European
@ScottishRoss27 that's because nationality and ethnicity are two different things

Didn't he just get the job?
bro could have been leader for life 💀
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!

First Sturgeon, then Humza and now Gething. Unfortunately, we have to wait five years for Starmer.

Stop pushing crayons into your ears.
Delusion
Beetlejuice has been first minister this whole time.??..
These people regardless of their political party, all think they’re above the law. Boris Johnson (con), Nicola Sturgeon (SNP) and now this Labour fella!
Glad he's gone we need an honest welsh leader who will encourage companies to set up here and bring much needed decent jobs to wales
If only Sadiq Khan would stand down aswell.
Racist.
Labour’s “competence” in full HD display.
Jolly good show
The audacity of him to remain in post after losing a no confidence vote is breathtaking. Disastrous after just assuming leadership. Good call to step down.
Sounds sensible
