Gething loses vote of no confidence (nation.cymru)

Vaughan Gething, the embattled First Minister, has lost a vote of no confidence tabled by the Welsh Conservatives.

The motion follows the collapse of the co-operation deal between Labour and Plaid Cymru and a series of scandals involving Mr Gething.

The motion is non-binding and will not force Mr Gething to stand aside from his role as First Minister, but the result will be highly embarrassing for him.

Ahead of the vote, Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, offered his support for the FM, accusing Plaid Cymru and the Conservatives of “game playing”.

I miss Drakeford with his contently boring and largely sleazeless politics.

Any chance the absence of Blythyn and Waters was deliberate considering their recent history?

Yeah, there is a very high chance of that, remote voting was allowed in this, as was using proxy votes - both decided not to use either.
