'Sadly you declined that hand!' Tense exchange in Senedd as Tory challenges outgoing First Minister

- Welsh Conservatives leader Andrew RT Davies said outgoing Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gething had declined to shake his hand earlier on Tuesday when he expressed his condolences.
When pressing Mr Gething, Mr Davies said: “Was it the acceptance of the £200,000 donation to your leadership campaign, or was it your appointment of your leadership contender and his leadership team to your cabinet that ultimately cost you the role of First Minister?”
He added: “Are the Labour group in this Senedd so riven that you are unable to complete that mandate?”

Arrogant beyond belief!
Not quite beyond belief Carwyn Jones, Mark Drakeford and now Vaughan Gething have been arrogant, this is Welsh Labour, more like a soviet enclave where it's always some one else's fault.
He can't even stand up straight..he comes across as arrogant and smug
Imagine it was the other way round he'd cry racism 😂😂 blokes a professional victim.
Abused become ABUSER
Unelected and its everyone else's fault.
Refusing a hand speaks volumes about the character of a person
Absolutely.he doesn't discriminate to anybody
“Make wales a better country” wales has been a beautiful and great country for hundreds of years, it was here before him and it will be around long after. Yma o hyd
I see a grubby little narcissist, I should know, my late mother was married to one for 15 years.
He pulled the race card
He’s a professional victim Race card
The arrogance is just ripping out of the FM!
Embarrassing
They are installing these jokes everywhere....yet non of it is a laughing matter.
Oh, I'm in stiches!
Dodgy body language and a lack of transparency on his part. Nocola Sturgeon did the same - I've done nothing wrong was her claim, like this bloke. History will prove both wrong in their self deluded perceptions.
How can you claim too have integrity while refusing hand shakes with someone of different beliefs
Bad loser.
We do not need or want an increased Senedd, like we didn’t want or need a 20 miles an hour speed limit, disgraceful the lot of them
I do, you lost, get over it.
Gething has so much contempt, not sure if it his racism or he just hasnt a clue.
Whether its Drakeford or Gething, these people are not up to the job of leading a small country, they don't lead or inspire a vision, they implement dogma and throw massive amounts of money at it, in the hope that it works. On the day that this article departs, i wonder what the financial state of wales is, that will tell a story.
Vaughn Gething and his predecessor Mark Drakeford have not been good for Wales. We are falling behind other parts of The United Kingdom as a result of too many Welsh folk continuing to support political candidates purely because they sport red Rosettes and ignoring their lack of suitability to serve. We have got some good Labour politicians here in Wales but unfortunately all too many look to represent Welsh Labour as a means to obtaining an easy meal ticket. Even now we have a Health Minister more concerned about dictating the amounts of sugar and fat that we may be "allowed" to purchase rather than trying to provide good and unbiased diet advice. My family has included Farmers, Engineers, Steelworkers, Nurses and quite a few Miners over many generations of Welsh people resident in Wales.I am glad to see Mr Gething going at last and look forward to voting for change at the next Senedd Election. Unfortunately we are being forced to accept the extra costs of an even greater number of Senedd members which presumably Welsh Labour are counting on as wearing red. No thanks.
Most people don't visit waste sites , or special waste sites. The waste industry is not a career choice for many and can become a money maker for the less scrupulous. Taking £200k from a waste company and then lobbying /interfering with statutory bodies is not a good look.
Born in Zambia raised & educated in Dorset so not really a Welshman is he? The Tories lost the General Election by behaving badly & people refused to vote for them. Gething "campaigned vigorously" for Labour in Wales & their share of the vote was lower than the last General Election. The Tories were punished for being arrogant & corrupt how silly that Gething is so self obsessed that he feels that doesn't apply to him. Campaign Funds from a twice convicted criminal, who is in line for another massive loan from the Welsh Government Bank (previous loans were when Gething was Finance Minister?) & even though he is/was a Human Rights Lawyer he sacked a fellow Labour MS & refused to disclose his sources & evidence to back that up? Good riddance
Not a very good loser...or leader
Actually just not very good !
Refusing a hand shake speaks volumes ' good bye lol
He will still take pay and expenses from welsh people for the next 6 months
His arrogance is unbelievable. Reminds me of the London Mayor. Similar level of arrogant indifference to the electorate.
Bye bye 😂😂😂😂
Has he brought the race card out?
Unfortunately he has.
Labour has had 20 years plus in power in wales & have done absolutely nothing for the Welsh citizens .it should be the Welsh electorate who should decide the next first minister , NOT THE SENNED.
shut up and stop spouting lies; the welsh wouldn’t have voted labour if they hadn’t done anything
you’re another tory snowflake that can’t get over that you lost the election
that's not the system in Parliament or the Welsh Government.
@@MisterBurtonshaw but it should be
@@paulwhitty8032 If my aunty had balls she'd be my uncle..
Gething so arrogant. Why doesn’t he sit down when the others are speaking, as they do.
that's not the etiquette in the Senedd
DEI race card gambler
Reform’s coming!
👏👏🙏👍😊 Country needs a wake up call. Rooted Welsh people need to be in the Senedd, don't have to speak fluent Welsh (because mid Wales doesn't) but you should have generations of Welsh family living here, and have a vast appreciation for your beautiful Country and its rooted people. The People of our Country MUST BE LISTENED TO AND THE PURPOSE OF THE SENEDD IS TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE WELSH PEOPLE; AFTER ALL THE TITLES ARE "PUBLIC SERVANT" TO SERVE THE PUBLIC. GOD BLESS ALL GOOD AND DECENT WELSH, IRISH, SCOTTISH AND IRISH PEOPLE, WITHIN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES 🙏👍😊🏴🏴💖 Stand firm 👏 👍 🙏 😊
I doubt it, they mustered about 4 million quite a few years ago and it went up very slightly at the GE. There are only so many naive enough to vote for grifters.
People that tell you they are a lerson of integrity rarely say the truth about themselves.
Clear your desk bye bye
This black fella thinks he's so good he should be voted in to God's job
How much does the Senedd cost the Welsh people in a year? I'd love to know. Are we getting value for money off these MP's? Wouldn't it be better to ditch the Assembly & use the money it costs the Welsh people to build Hospitals, which are needed as a matter of urgency, or, build an infrastructure that is fit for purpose ( the Brynglas Tunnel comes to mind) or build Schools fit for purpose, as opposed to ones where the roof falls in, or the Mould on the walls is'nt a hazard to Children & Staff alike? The Assembly needs disposing..
Gething’s vision is Wales’ despair, good riddance. I’ve had dealings with him, the outcome was contempt.
I lived in Swansea for 4 years. Love Wales, just a shame the country's so impoverished. More money spent rebuilding a roundabout 5 times and a 'golden bridge' than actually investing in the economy
Jack born and bred. If you do like it...
Corrupt as they come .
Sorry for 2nd comment. Proud of everything he did? Ffs. Spent 170 million quid ffs on a covid hospital that no one went to. Despised this man during covid for his arrogance when he had NO clue what he was talking about
Why would he want to shake his hand anyway......He's a grubby little, corrupt politician.
He looks like the emote 😂😂
But the people of Wales has had no say in the expansion of the Senedd. The Senedd is unaffordable especially as they are culpable in money wasting vanity projects imposed on the people of Wales, and now this imposition of an over 50 percent increase of the talking shop non productive body with all the additional expenses that come with it.
Why wasn't he charged for taking bribes? Typical arrogance and again above the law

Daffodil Republic.
The labour vote has never been so low. Reform is on the up
Arrogant, that’s all I heard from Vaughan Gething if it the Welsh people that you say pick you lot in then it should be the people who vote for our first minister but no I wonder why glad your gone and get rid of the 20 mph roads
Make a better Wales, not with people like you there's more to come about this bloke.
Corrupt.
He couldn't lie straight in bed.
Proud of hid record………….really?
Es admirable la sensación de buena convivencia que se respira en cuanto vives o viajas por los paises que componen el reino unido; pero reconozcamos todos que todavía nos falta mucho a todos, hay recuerdos que, sin querer, siempre acaban aflorando
Congratulations Wales 🎊
Now the two clowns have gone pick someone who is going to deliver policies that the Welsh people want Education and NHS also teaching of the Welsh language in schools
Welsh IS compulsory throughout comprehensive now.
And then she selects Drakeford as health minister. Beyond a joke
@@davidevans267 especially as he was the fool in charge when lockdown was started I pity the health service
His arrogance is on another level
How can somebody who lives in Wales, have a suntan. It always rains

Unfortunately whether guilty or innocent of what he's been accused of the guy was never going to get a fair go at it by certain quarters. The comments tell you all you need to know.
What has he done wrong.why has he stepped down ?
He accepted a donation from a crook
@@jeremyatkinson4976 fair enough if he has taken dirty money then he has no choice
All the very best back in the native country!
Get him out of her wales, the welsh should run wales.
