First Minister questions dominated by last week's no-confidence vote
First Minister of Wales Vaughan Gething speaks at the launch of Labour's six steps for change in Wales at the Priory Centre in Abergavenny, while on the General Election campaign trail, May 30, 2024

FIRST MINISTER’s Questions continued to be dominated by the row about the £200,000 donations taken by Vaughan Gething and last week’s no-confidence vote.

Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies was angry that the First Minister and Labour colleagues called the no-confidence vote a stunt and wanted to know if Mr Gething thought it was a “serious debate, or was it a gimmick.”

The FM said he took the no-confidence debate seriously and the vote that came from it but he “regretted that last week we weren’t able to respect the normal traditions on pairing and the conventions that allow the democracy at the ballot box to be respected.”
