Politics latest news: Four Welsh Labour ministers quit and urge Vaughan Gething to resign - The Telegraph

Four Labour ministers have resigned from the Welsh Government as they called for Vaughan Gething to quit as First Minister.

Mick Antoniw, Julie James, Lesley Griffiths and Jeremy Miles all published resignation letters to Mr Gething this morning.

It comes after the First Minister has become mired in scandals over the last few months, including over donations to his campaign and the sacking of a minister over leaked texts to the media.

Mr Antoniw, the Counsel General, said: “I must advise you that I do not believe you can continue as First Minister. Wales needs confident and stable government. I do not believe you are capable of delivering that.”

Ms James, the Cabinet Secretary for Housing, wrote: “We must begin to repair this damage immediately and I am extremely sorry to tell you that I do not think you are capable of being the leader who can lead us through that”.
