  1. Oh well I guess that’s okay then. Who cares if the Senedd, the body over which Gething presides, has no confidence in him.

    Keir Starmer said it’s fine!

  2. Doesn’t really matter what Keir Stamer says – if he can’t get Hannah Blythyn and Lee Waters back into the fold, he’s a lame duck FM who cannot get any business through the Senedd, without the help of opposition members. The power rests with his Labour group – I suspect they’ll delay any move to get rid of him until after the election, but he will not last long after that if he can’t get them back in line. 

  3. it’s just voting for a different flavour of cunt at this point isn’t it

  4. I think the only way that Lee Waters and Hannah Blythyn can be brought back onside is by direct intervention from the national party – i.e. Starmer himself.

    LW will be eyeing up Nia Griffith’s Westminster seat, as she’ll be retiring soon, so that’s one path. If Hannah Blythyn had any figurative bollocks she’d stand her ground after the way she’s been treated, and turn him into a lame duck FM.

    This is all a terrible advert for Welsh politics.

  5. Snap election the best way forward, only other option is resignation really

  6. And so, by association with Starmer, we will shortly find out if the people of Cymru have confidence in Vaughan Gething.

    Your anti-tory vote doesn’t have to be Labour!

  7. Well… This says it all about the stench of the rotting carcass that is Welsh Politics.

    How in this day an age can we have a politician who not only is bent but can also use his colour of skin as a means to say most people who are against him are sorta, kinda, more than likely racist.

    The fake tears is on par with the fake tears of Sturgeon and her screaming ‘Toarrieee Basturds’ as a means of deflection of her and her party neglecting the people of Scotland and blaming it all on Westminster and not herself or her party.

    This vote yesterday and those pandering to him when he was having his ‘boo hoo’ should be ashamed of themselves.

    There was a day, when politics was a much honest affair (as can be) and those who were wanting to better their town or city or bring injustice to those at Westminster and fight for the ’cause’

    After the elections people are on the opinion that Gething will be ousted? I have a feeling they will take a leaf out of the book that is SNP Politics and find a way for him to continue – cause those against him are ‘racist’ and don’t want a person of colour as an elected minister.

    Allthough he wasn’t elected by the people, this screaming of ‘you are all rascist’ is getting old by those who seek to use it and abuse it to try and deflect what really has happened.

    Some people may not like the United Kingdom, or England or Westminster as a whole – But there are things to be proud of – like how we are as ‘multicultural society’ and have all people of colour in all levels of work and offices.

    But to use that to deflect him being so bent and not returning money back, to use that to try and cling onto power so that he can continue to have his ‘snout in the trough’ for the continuous gravy train – is ‘low & abhorrent’ and at low as Matheson clinging to his job in the SNP when trying to con the public for 11 grand.

    We dont need laws passed to make it harder for them to be kicked out of office. We need laws passed to make them easier to kick them out and be jailed for taking bungs.

    Politics has always been dirty – but today’s politics shows me – there is and won’t be a chance in hell will Labour have a vote from me. If they find it acceptable to keep him in and look the other way then how bent are they and how much can they be bought for?

    Apparently for very little to cling to their cosy jobs.

    Sorry for the rant – but this just shows me how little they care for the people of Wales and to fix the issues we have here.

  8. We’re doomed to have a Labour government in Wales forever.

    So if that’s a given, then having a Labour government that can’t actually achieve any of its legislative aims is probably the best outcome for all of us.

  9. Well well well, didn’t think much could come out that would make me more disappointed in Starmer as about leader, but here we are.

  10. Of course Starmer wants Vaughan Gething to stay as First Minister. UK Labour need Starmer Yesman Gething in charge in Walesshire. Don’t expect any Welsh Government demands for greater devolution if VG rides this out.

    Some people are implying that Starmer has the constitutional legitimacy to intervene on Gething’s behalf. Is this true?
