Welsh first minister Vaughan Gething is forced to step down | Andrew R T Davies

“We need to focus on the importance to giving confidence to the people of Wales to show there is competent leadership here.”

It has been a “frantic morning” in almost “unprecedented times" as Vaughan Gething was forced to resign as First Minister of Wales and leader of the Welsh Labour Party, says leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew R T Davies.

Welsh Labour have definitely taken getting elected for granted, this has led to complacency and incompetence. Extremely embarrassing to labour for this Gething incident to happen just after a historic labour landslide in the general election. And if you're wondering, no, I'm not a Tory!

It's incredible that Wales can't get even a reasonable First Minister.

[SimonWallwork]

Maybe get a Welsh man next? Just a thought.

Labour in power in Wales over 10 years, they did nothing for the Welsh! Period!! Last week came confirmation that the UK economy had entered recession. But it's not just the economy that's in reverse.The decline of vital industries in Wales and the communities which they sustain - whether that's agriculture, steel or hospitality - bear all the hallmarks of a social recession too. Good Luck!

Welsh Labour have been a disaster under Labour, but still the people vote Labour, dear God help us.

Thank goodness, I didn't like him four years ago, and I don't like him now .I would just like to say it is nothing to do with race. It's about how you conduct yourself .I didn't like the way he dealt with the money received and how he treated a member of the Welsh Government without showing the proof .

Third world politics from the third world

3 Scottish FMs in a term, 3 British prime ministers in a term, 3 Irish prime ministers in a term. Wales wants into the club

Now a days unfortunately Failure to deliver leads to promotion - even top jobs in jobs like politics, council positions and broadcasting are the new way forward. Unlike the real world where you be sacked for a lot less.

Leadership in Snails i mean Wales too slow to catch a cold after Drakeford's daft 20mph nonsense.
