Why doesn't this surprise me?? 😂
"The company which donated £200,000 to Vaughan Gething, who wants to be Wales' next First Minister, has submitted an application to build a huge solar farm on the edge of Cardiff, which the Welsh Government will be responsible for approving or rejecting."

To be fair to Gethin he probably hasn't read the rules on accepting gifts and donations if he does not read the national risk register.
They need to put some guidance in the Beano. |  |

Donations should be banned, full stop.
The £5 million Sunak has recently received from Mr Monsaur, or the £2.5 million he received from Graham Edwards recently. Huge donations.
Even the £136,000 from the RUSSIAN billionaires wife he happily accepted recently.
All wrong. |  |

100% agree. There should be a central fund for these things and all candidates get the same amount, which shoudn't be much. | | | |

When Guessing gets promoted ( which he will ) you can bet it'll be approved .Why would anyone need 200k to self promote yourself but knowing Guessing past and current failures I guess he needs all the help he can get.
Makes me want to puke the lot of them . | |

I might sound naive but I do not understand why Gethin, or the other guy for that matter, need donations to run a leadership campaign. | | | |

My understanding is members of the Senedd vote for the first minister so presumably the money is spent on them? | |

I don’t agree with donations in any shape or form for any party. The party’s should be funded by the State and making a donation and receiving donations should be made in to a criminal offence as I fear that’s the only way we’ll stop under the table payments etc.
IHMO it’s wrong for Gething to accept the donation, which is pretty substantial, but it’s nothing like the £5m paid to the Conservatives. The whole idea that a few rich people can fork out so much cash and have such a big influence on the country is terrible. | | | |

I agree that payments should be illegal, but you can't compare a payment to an individual to a payment to a political party. This was not a payment to Welsh Labour, but a payment to an individual in a leadership battle. If he doesn't return it, it could backfire on him. | | | |

It's wonderful to see he accepted a £200,000 donation from a company run by a man convicted of environmental offences. 😂
David John Neal was given a three-month suspended prison sentence in 2013 for illegally dumping waste on the environmentally sensitive Gwent Levels. | |

It does indeed,corruption runs through not only the Torys but just as endemic within Labour .UK politics stinks both in London as in Cardiff .just spent 9 hours in Morriston A&E with my good friend ,I can't imagine Guessing or Drakeford having to go through a similar ordeal but thousands do every day because the failed ministers for health policies and the current one wants to lead my country . | |

What get instead of a focus on the NHS and public services in Wales is a load of deflection to things like 20mph, unrealistic environmental targets for farmers and a sh1t airport. | |

As was mentioned in the "rats in a sack" thread, the main rival in the leadership stakes is already publicising this as a way of showing that Gethin is unsuitable. The trouble is that these two, plus most of the Senedd Labour front bench, are all unsuitable. | | | |

Agree about the NHS. As it happens, I spent most of yesterday in Morriston with my wife, and although the staff were very good, the overall experience was mixed and I'd say sub-optimal. Wife started losing a lot of blood after recent surgery and passed out in the bathroom in the early hours. I wasn't sure she was fit to go to A & E by car so called for an ambulance, but was advised that none would be available for several hours. On arrival at Morriston by car at least 5 ambulances were parked up, but possibly with patients still onboard. In A & E things could have been worse, Because wife was still bleeding she was prioritised, meaning a 20 minute wait for triage, then another 10 minutes in the main waiting room before transfer to the treatment room, and about 3 hours in a cubicle there before transfer to the surgical assessment unit (SAU). That unit was pretty good and wife was stabilised before discharge home at about 5.00pm. Had arrived at about 4.50 am. | | | |

Gething is not the first politician to receive a personal donation for a leadership campaign and he won’t be the last, Liz Truss received over £500k in personal donations. What Gething has done isn’t illegal, but it doesn’t sit right with me. | | | |

Truss had over half a million? Crikey, what a spectacular waste of money that was. | | | |
