A Big Stink - Vaughn Gething

Re: A Big Stink - Vaughn Gething

Thank god he's gone. I didn't think he would, well done to the labour am's who did the right thing! He's always been incompetent, and recent events have shown him to be corrupt aswell. To start crying was just downright pathetic. Horrible self absorbed man.

Gone where?

Re: A Big Stink - Vaughn Gething

He won’t resign, not unless you chuck him £200,000

I hope he does not resign.
Not as corrupt as those in Westminster.

Re: A Big Stink - Vaughn Gething

Gone where?

A non binding no confidence vote. FFS, what kind of shambolic system do we have. Let's rephrase that one then, hopefully he can gain a sliver of conscience and do the decent thing!

Two wrongs don’t make a right !

He’s corrupt, he’s a disgrace to his comrades

Re: A Big Stink - Vaughn Gething

No and yes.

He hasn't resigned.

But he should

He has lost the confidence of two ex ministers one of whom he appears to have flung under the bus.

They are apparently allowed to vote remotely or they could have nominated a proxy.

But.....they didn't.

Labours attempt to blame the opposition for not pairing do not wash. As I have said above, there were alternatives.

I also found the attempt by at least one Labour MS to blame the vote on racism pretty contemptible as well

Re: A Big Stink - Vaughn Gething

The MS who criticised RT Davies for bringing the vote today, when Gething was due to be at D-Day service was spot on. The Tories had no answer.

Re: A Big Stink - Vaughn Gething

I can't see him lasting much longer. He's lost Plaids support, and all the opposition parties are now content voting together.

He quite clearly has lost support of some in his own party too. I have to say those who spoke today didn't seem to do so with enormous enthusiasm for him personally. The most impassioned speech was a Labour MS bemoaning that this was all taking place at the same time as D Day commemorations. [Edit:can just see that's been mentioned above]

The timing is quite extraordinary with a general election going on

Re: A Big Stink - Vaughn Gething

Well, he lost the vote.

Will he resign? Should he?

No and yes unless he returns the money and say he made a mistake in accepting it.

Re: A Big Stink - Vaughn Gething

Vaughan Gething should sling his hook

He was guilty of bad judgement

He should have put his hands up and taken the opportunity to rectify the situation

It would have knocked him a bit but he could have carried on

But his position is built on quicksand now

He is or soon will be the ‘new’ Liz Truss’ of politics

He’s corrupt, he’s a disgrace to his comrades

And useless why would anyone want him to stay?

Wasn't it the earliest the Tories could have it? I found that speech a bit embarrassing to be honest, I'd argue judging our First Minister's record, competence and posdible cortuption is more important that what would have amounted to a photo opportunity in Portsmouth (which is all these politicians see it as). Also incredibly telling that none of the Labour MSs engaged with the charges put forward by Plaid and the Tories and instead spoke about different things entirely. Watson with the D Day speech, David accusing people of racism, Hedges calling Rhun the most right wing leader Plaid have had (maybe take a look at Gething & Starmer before throwing that accusation around). It wasn't much of a defence.

Labour were dealt a bad hand and played it poorly, the Tories the most impressive I can remember seeing them in the Senedd (that's not saying much mind)

It was the earliest they could have it after signalling their intention to have the vote.

It was Labour that had no answer and they resorted to avoiding the point consistently.

That last line is a joke right ?
