Four Welsh devolved government ministers have tendered their resignations, saying Prime Minister Von Goething should resign.

The quitters described Mr Gething’s position as head of the Welsh Labor government as “unsustainable”, citing his defeat last month in a confidence vote.

That vote was prompted by the revelation that Mr Gething had received a £200,000 donation from a company convicted of environmental offences. The Welsh Prime Minister had dismissed the process in the Welsh parliament, known as the Sened, as a “gimmick” and remained in place.

Von Gething, 50, only became the first black leader of a European country in March when he was elected by the Welsh Labor Party to replace the resigned Mark Drakeford.
