Set to step down as First Minister at the upcoming Welsh Labour Conference in Llandudno, likely to be replaced by Ken Skates apparently
100%, he's getting out before the shit properly hits the fan
That was my first thought on Skates, but he's good at being everyone's friend apparently. Vaughan Gething was meant to be in the running but it'll be Skates apparently. With Welsh Labour its like choosing between dog shit and cat shit half the time
Skating in ice
What is it with modern Welsh Labour politicians , we had sugh giants in the past , lead by the wonderful Rhodri and his wife , sad .
Carwyn needs to face the music
I would prefer Vaughn gething myself but skates is a bright fellow
Anything is better than the Tories
Carwyn is off in the autumn. Good riddance -He has been absolutely dreadful for Wales in his time in charge of our country. Virtually everything is in a worse state now than it was when he took the helm.
His successor surely can't be as bas as Carwyn has been??
I should have put a bet on. Bollocks.
I vote Labour and am proud to say so
I will never vote for the capitalist Tories , never and thankfully nor will the majority of Wales
There were tears in the conference hall apparently. Tears? Really? The guy knows there's a shitstorm coming and is getting out now
I was involved in the referendum for lawmaking powers held in Wales in 2011, campaigning for Yes. On the day following the vote there was a big party in the Wales Millennium Centre for the Yes campaigners. Spirits were high because Yes had won and I was getting drunk and talking to some interesting people whom I’d never met before. I went to the bar and who was there but only Carwyn Jones with a sour expression on his face. He’d campaigned for Yes as the First Minister but didn’t look too happy as I stood next to him waiting to be served.
Not being a fan of the man myself I just ordered my round and didn’t say anything to him. My drinks were placed on a tray. As I lifted the tray and made my way to my companions CJ - the First Minister - elbowed my arm, causing the drinks to spill but I managed to keep the tray from tipping the glasses onto the floor. I looked up at him - he’s quite tall - and he glared at me, daring me to challenge his behaviour. I muttered something like ”****ing wanker” and went back to my seat.
What a ****ing wanker.
Sludge is Carwyn and I claim my £10
