Responding to a timetable for Vaughan Gething’s replacement set to be announced later today, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“With Labour’s infighting set to continue and Vaughan Gething not able to fill the seats in his ‘caretaker cabinet’, it’s the people of Wales who will continue to suffer, as Labour continue to take Wales for granted.
“Keir Starmer promised a ‘new’ style of Government if Labour were elected on 4th July, but by backing Vaughan Gething, Keir Starmer’s judgement as well as his actions make this promise worthless.
“Welsh Labour clearly still cling onto the belief of party before country, and it remains to be seen whether this shrunken Cabinet will be any worse than a full Welsh Labour Government. But while the Labour Party might be busy taking chunks out of itself, as it has been for the last few months, the people of Wales deserve some clarity on when they will get a new First Minister.”
