‘Two Labour governments, working together, will transform Wales,’ pledges First Minister
Vaughan Gething
THE general election is a chance to “end 14 years of neglect” and see two Labour governments working together to “transform” Wales, First Minister Vaughan Gething told the Wales TUC today.
Mr Gething vowed to fight for the future of Welsh steel, trade union rights and public ownership even if standing “largely alone” as Welsh governments had since 2010, but ideally in partnership with a Labour government at Westminster.
Despite more than a decade of straitened budgets under the Tories, Labour in Wales had delivered a publicly owned railway system and ended the right to buy to defend social housing, he stressed.
