Vaughan Gething — born in Zambia.
Welsh politician.
Cabinet minister.
First Minister of Wales.
Again: should his birthplace itself have made his loyalty to Britain legitimately suspect?

Labour elects the first black man to lead a UK national as Vaughan Gething takes over as First Minister of Wales.
So it seems there will be no peerage this year for Vaughan Gething.
Perhaps the reaction put Keir Starmer off?
However Kemi Badenoch did nominate former Sec of State for Wales John Redwood.
Here he is in 1993 miming the Welsh national anthem he totally knows the words to...

Picking a faction to root for, how is Vaughan Gething going to wriggle out of it this time, the planning for how to massage Dafydd Ellis Thomas' ego so he doesn't attempt to rejoin Plaid and cost them their majority... Yeah, I can see that.

Keir Starmer pledged to restore trust in politics.
But he has failed to keep his promise following a series of poor judgements.
People have lost credibility in the Prime Minister’s leadership, just like the people of Wales did with Vaughan Gething.

I have a smidgeon of sympathy for Eluned Morgan. She’s carrying the can for the damage done by Gething and Starmer. By no means the first woman - in politics or elsewhere - to end up shovelling the shit left behind by useless entitled men.
File this under “speculation and rumour” but several Welsh Labour sources tell me that initial impressions are that things are pretty brutal for them in West Wales and that First Minister Eluned Morgan is at serious risk of losing her seat.
