Plaid Cymru Ends Co-operation Deal with Welsh Labour

First Minister Vaughan Gething is under increased scrutiny as Plaid Cymru ends its co-operation deal with Welsh Labour.

First Minister Vaughan Gething is under increased scrutiny after Plaid Cymru terminated its co-operation deal with Welsh Labour.

The agreement, initiated in December 2021, facilitated smooth governance despite Labour controlling only half the Senedd seats.

Plaid leader Rhun ap Iorwerth cited a controversial £200,000 donation from Dauson Environmental Group to Gething's leadership campaign as a significant factor in their decision.

Gething's recent dismissal of a minister has further complicated his position, with potential no-confidence motions looming.

Labour, while facing new challenges, remains united in support of Gething.
