Vote does not automatically force Labour’s Gething to resign less than 12 weeks into job, but pressure to step down will grow
The Welsh first minister, Vaughan Gething, has lost a no-confidence vote less than 12 weeks after taking office, following a series of scandals that have called into question his judgment and transparency.
Gething’s defeat is a significant blow to his authority and a growing problem for the UK Labour leader, Keir Starmer, who so far has repeatedly backed the Labour first minister.
