Wales leader Vaughan Gething resigns after four months in office, after four of his ministers have resigned in protest against him in a short time.

"It has been the greatest honor in my life to do this job", writes Gething in a statement.

He was elected leader in March for the Welsh branch of the Labour Party, but has been pursued by controversies. Including for having received a donation from a man who was convicted of environmental crimes.
