[As Mr Gething was elected, he took time
to praise his predecessor and competitor.

He thanked Mr Drakeford for his role
in making Wales feel 'safer' at
the 'hardest of times',
and said he hoped he would remain
'firm friends' with Mr Miles
'once the dust has settled'.
Mr Gething added that Mr Miles' campaigning,
'the story that you have told,
the example that you have set',
had set new precedent for the
future of Welsh politics.

The leadership race has not been
without controversy, most of which
has centred on Mr Gething.]

How long has he lived here for?

Because for example, if he has lived here since he was a little kid, and went through our School Education System etc, then in my eyes he is British.

[Beso]

The blacks beat the gays.

[smudgie]

.
Great choice.
His dad is Welsh (the name sort of gives it away) and his mother is Zambian.
He has lived in Wales since he was 2 years old and is very much a Welshman.

All politicians these days are complete idiots, it doesn't matter what race or colour they are, the only common element is that they are all idiots

97 out of 100 people in Scotland are white

I rarely see a colour face as I go about my week

its 90 from 100 in Wales so hardly multicultural there either

Northern Ireland is 97/100

We’ve been visiting a north Manchester hospital for a few weeks and the only white faces are on the guys pushing trolleys around the corridors.
All the specialists, doctors , nurses and ward assistants are non white

So it's a non-issue story imo.

Oh, and thanks for the answer, as I really didn't know much about this guy until this thread was made.

Tbf, as someone that does see your point when it comes to forced diversity.

Are we really going to pretend that the white, high-up Politicians aren't out of their depth as well? Being brutally honest, we're in a bad generation of Politicians in the UK, regardless of which party or race you look at.

It was a non-story anyway, people don’t care that he wasn’t born here, if they cared about that Boris wouldn’t have been prime minister, they care because he’s black

Good Point LT

Whatever you call him, he's culturally Welsh, and he's Catholic.

So it sounds like the only problem with him is what he looks like?

You do have a point here I think.

I hate to say it, but it does look this way.

Vaughan Gething loses vote of no confidence


[First Minister Vaughan Gething has lost
a vote of no confidence in his leadership
in the Welsh Parliament.

After a tense and passionate debate in the
chamber, 29 Senedd members voted in favour
of the resolution, while 27 voted against.

Opposition parties immediately called on
Mr Gething to resign,
which he is not obliged to do as the
result is not binding.

But the vote places him under additional
pressure after weeks of criticism.

The Senedd vote was called by the
Conservatives over donations made to
Mr Gething’s leadership campaign by
a company owned by a man previously
convicted of environmental offences.

There are 60 members
of the Welsh Parliament - Labour holds exactly half
of the seats with 30 members, while there are
16 Tories, 13 Plaid Cymru members and
a solitary Liberal Democrat.]

The Welsh parliament have passed a bill that FORCES diverse election candidates and
gives taxpayer MONEY to ethnic minorities and those with 'protected characteristics'.

The Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Bill was passed last week.

So no more meritocracy

This is so typical of the nasty "progressive" left

Vaughan Gething refused to shake Welsh Conservative leader's hand

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/politics/2024/07/16/TELEMMGLPICT000385773037_17211213171670_trans_NvBQ zQNjv4Bq-IWLY18X4-CzgyIcjLEAj0k9u7HhRJvuo-ZLenGRumA.jpeg?imwidth=600

The leader of the Welsh Conservatives claimed Vaughan Gething had refused
to shake his hand today after he offered the First Minister his best wishes
following his resignation.

Andrew RT Davies told the Senedd during questions to the First Minister this
afternoon: “First Minister, in 17 years that I have been in this institution I
don’t think you and I have ever shared a lift. This morning, the doors opened
and you were standing there.

“I stretched out my hand to shake your hand and wish you all the best for
the future. Sadly you declined that hand. I do as I stand here wish you and
your family all the very best.”

The Welsh leader made a reference to his race when announcing his
resignation, hinting that he has been targetted because of his skin color-
despite being pressured to resign over his role in several scandals.


“To those in Wales who look like me, many of whom I know feel personally
bruised and worried by this moment, I know that our country can be better. I
know that cannot happen without us.”

British PM Sir Keir Starmer also made reference to his race saying he should
“take enormous pride in being the first black leader of any country in Europe.”

Vaughan Gething quit after several controversies including; receiving a
£200,000 campaign donation from a man convicted of environmental
offenses, as well as his role in the deletion of sensitive messages during the
pandemic.
