NEW First Minister of Wales Vaughan Gething gave a stark warning today that his government’s priorities would lead to public service cuts.

However, in a nod to the language used by British Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, Mr Gething said his government would be “relentlessly focused” on its priority of protecting the NHS and local government budgets in Wales.

Mr Gething was clear that the National Museum of Wales, which announced today that it is considering the closure of its Cardiff city centre museum and gallery, would not be bailed out by his government.
