Default Wales : Vaughan Gething is elected (has lost a vote of no confidence as leader)




[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.

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.

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.

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

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?

Thumbs down

This is so typical of the nasty "progressive" left

Vaughan Gething refused to shake Welsh Conservative leader's hand



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.”

Thumbs down plays race card....

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
Ł200,000 campaign donation from a man convicted of environmental
offenses, as well as his role in the deletion of sensitive messages during the
pandemic.

"He thanked Mr Drakeford for his role

the 'hardest of times',"

Not only absolute lies but he knows its lies making him a spineless liar

pathetic

we live in a multi cultural society LT, it's been that way your entire life.

I dont live in a multicultural society

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

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.
