Labour supporters clap Vaughan Gething, at Cardiff University, March 16, 2024

QUESTIONS about campaign donations to Welsh Labour leader Vaughan Gething and his personal integrity bedevilled his second session of First Minister’s Questions today.

Both Welsh Conservative opposition leader Andrew Davies and co-operation agreement partner Plaid Cymru’s leader Rhun ap Iorwerth used all their questions to press Mr Gething to appoint an independent investigator into his campaign finances. 

Mr Gething told the Senedd that Labour’s Welsh executive had agreed at the weekend that former first minister Carwyn Jones would chair a review of leadership campaigns, including finances.
