WELSH first minister Vaughan Gething was dealt another blow today after Plaid Cymru ended its co-operation agreement with the Labour government with immediate effect.

Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth MS praised the constructive response to Brexit, the pandemic and Tory government but said “since becoming leader, I’ve been determined to hold the Labour Welsh government firmly to account.”

“I remain deeply concerned that the First Minister has failed to pay back the £200,000 donation to his leadership campaign from a company convicted of environmental offences, and believe it demonstrates a significant lack of judgement,” he added.
