Correction: The original version of this story stated that former first minister Mark Drakeford was absent from the Senedd and did not vote. In fact, he attended remotely and voted against the no confidence motion, in support of current First Minister Vaughan Gething. The Morning Star apologises for the misunderstanding.

SENEDD members passed a vote of no confidence in First Minister Vaughan Gething today by 29 votes to 28 after two Labour members failed to vote, two due to ill health.

Senedd leader Elin Jones said that though the vote was not binding, the First Minister should reflect on it.
