  1. Is this the most pathetic thing you’ve ever heard? The public are rightly not keen on the kind of brown envelope corruption which has been endemic in local politics. That isn’t racist.

  2. That old chestnut. Nothing to do with corruption and nothing for him to be accountable and take responsibility for at all

  3. Brilliant, been in office 5 minutes and it’s been an absolute shit show but that can’t be it, actually maybe Truss was really good and the attacks on her were just because she’s a woman.

  4. Slimy prick. I’m as lefty and “woke” as they come and I want him gone. Nothing to do with racism.

    He’s getting desperate now, coming out with this rubbish

  5. I saying at work to my colleagues that it won’t be long until he plays the race card, looks like I was correct.

  6. Erm no. Any politician taking money from a criminal will get called out and should resign full stop. It’s time to go!!!

  7. It’s got nothing to do with racism, it’s got to do with the fact that he’s a crook and playing the race card is absolutely shameful

  8. Unelected and bought his position like Wales is some third world crap hole. But yeah sure, play the race card.

  9. I don’t care what colour his skin is. I care about the £200k bribe he took. That does not make me a racist.

  10. This is sad to watch. Labour find themselves in a good position with respect to the national party, with Starmer presenting himself as a credible and serious politician after many failed attempts. What we (the royal ‘we’ meaning sensible people who aren’t going to vote for another period of Tory squalor) don’t need is a welsh FM intent on playing identity politics.

  11. The £200k he, Gething took..£31k he want to give to the Labour Party. I hope they refuse it.

  12. Bullshit. It’s down to that £200,000 donation that you should never have taken and which you should pay back. If you are going to play the race card every time someone criticises you, you should get out of politics now.

  13. “People don’t like me, must be racism”. It’s gonna be a shock when it’s actually your personality and behaviour we don’t like.

  14. I know nothing about Welsh politics but just from this and yesterday’s headline, this fella days are numbered. Yet Rishi remains.

  15. Was the £200K “donation” to his campaign also racially driven? No? Then sorry I don’t follow.

  16. I’ve know of him as a politician for years, going way back to the 00s when he was flirting with Momentum. Sad to see him go the corruption way, and calling scrutiny racism.

    He’s corrupt, self serving and leadership driven. Needs to go now!

    Welsh Gov pretty progressive on the social & enviro

  17. Less than a month in and they are pulling the race card. Just get him out for goodness sake. This woke nonsense doesn’t belong anywhere near our country. Didn’t vote him in and don’t want him in charge, get him out now.

  18. I don’t want to be defined by the colour of my skin!

    Things go wrong!

    It is because I am black!

  19. To be fair, the article says that it wasn’t Gething himself who said this, it was other Labour ASs. That fact doesn’t change any of the other criticism against him. 

  20. I actually think he’s faired better tbh. Sadly he isn’t the first politician to have accepted money from convicted criminals or try to deceive the public, however most do eventually fall on their sword (I’m thinking Matt Hancock style). This just smacks of desperation and a man who know’s his days are numbered.

  21. Welsh Labour will never be a sensible party, will they?

  22. Probably looking too much at Twitter / YouTube (which is the cesspit of the internet)

    there’s plenty of valid criticism though

  23. Leave it out Vaughan, race has nothing to do with it and you know it.

  24. Dodgy Politician = = Pulls Race Card = = Shocker ! !

    Get Out ~ ~ You Very Dodgy Politician !
