Europe really, really needs to get rid of the EU.

[@markpalmer8083]

Errrrmm...... Wales isn't in the E.U...... Duurrrrrrrrh!

[@ssuwandi3240]

Poor chap his race got to be amplified and weaponized by WEF trolls 😂😂 . A minority that wants to rule a majority that his own birth country has resisted for decades l..

[@stuartturbutt-ff1jt]

Even though we voted to leave EU but fact our mps keep running off to EU to get orders shows we really never left....

[@Abdominal65]

​@@markpalmer8083 Did I say it was?

[@Kisamaism]

@@Abdominal65so then your comment is apropos of nothing? Or what? He's a Welsh First Minister. Not part of the EU. I mean I also disagree with the sentiment, but yeah... dafuq does the getting rid of the EU do for the prospects of black to-be leaders? Or for Vaughan?

[@ms.pugsley]

I visited wales back in 2018. Its pretty bad there. Stores closed, people really looked depressed there. A diversity leader? 😅 Yeah, thats going to go over really well

[@KerriForsberg]

Here we go again, focus on his race and not accomplishments.

[@alanfrost4661]

What accomplishments

[@hugodrax71]

I live in Wales. You'll need to tell me his accomplishments. Only one that springs to mind is - you can go to the supermarket but you can't buy a hairdryer.

[@ssuwandi3240]

He accomplished vaccine revenue to Master WEF😂😂 the same "accomplished" by first Islamist Minister in Scotland l.. All thus bloke tweets were mostly about Islam in a Christian dominant European 😂😂😂

[@Piqueblinders11]

He doesn’t have any. He got in because of his race. Or did you think that rishi sunak and and the snp leader got in because of accomplishments?

[@ssuwandi3240]

Correct. Wishy was an ex banker which was an easy job when money printing cost zero interest. Not when the tide has turned up to 500 times the speed..

[@thesaltycrone9237]

The end of Wales

[@ogge]

The end of Britain!

[@victorchavez3096]

Cant wait to see the first Martian in politics that would be amazing!

[@rodneymayer5286]

Previously he was Minister of Health, didn’t do a good job for Wales !

[@GulagMoosefeller]

omg so stunning and brave! If I could learn to accept charity I'd be the first cross-eyed government leader. Vote for me!

[@shelly1nj41]

They're in deep 💩

[@LRBeforeTheInternet]

Why does it matter if he's black? It just seems weird to keep talking about race like it's earned, or some accomplishment. I've heard more about his skin color than his policies.

[@sheenayoung6141]

And that's why they will only be talking about his race, because he doesn't have any policies

[@LRBeforeTheInternet]

@@sheenayoung6141 He deserve better, even if he sucks at his job. Reducing someone to thier flesh tone seems prejudice, right?

[@MegaCod66]

@@LRBeforeTheInternetI mean he’s based his identity off being the first black leader, not that it matters. It’s a tick in the box of a diversity checklist supported by the minister himself, and the media, whom are race obsessed.

[@dosxali]

@@MegaCod66 pretty sure he didnt personally make that the leading factor, and no matter colour we all need the essentials

[@Gryphind0r]

Wales has fallen

[@clj.4874]

Just a shame the welsh public was not allowed to vote as gethings woild not even have got in.

[@madebymonkeys5641]

This dude was not elected by the electorate. Niether was Sunak, or the guy in Scotland. Sooooo looking forward to the election. 😊

[@10thAngel]

Rishi Sunak... isnt he indian? Aaand primeminister of the UK?

[@alanfrost4661]

Yes also not voted for

[@ssuwandi3240]

Elected by 100 cronies 😂 Poor chap got to be sponsored by WEF oligarchy this will end very badly

[@10thAngel]

@@Ray_Moyes However we dont vote for people as more republican systems. We dont vote FOR a person.

[@stellaadams7289]

I think the Scottish first minister is Asian ,. Now we have the hat trick. All nations governed by non indiginous people. What a farce . We in Wales should be allowed to choose our own governor.

[@garry843]

Who elected him. I live here and don't remember the election. I'm for a reunited Britain, but it's beginning to look , that to avoid shouts of racist if you are colouure you can automatically become leader of your party.

[@Piqueblinders11]

They have no intention of representing the British indigenous people of Britain and they never have. The British people need to wake up. You get called a racist for speaking up for native rights…. That’s the coloniser tactics they use to keep native British people down

[@CTJ893]

Playing the race card

[@Jp67-n6b]

He isn’t very good

[@auldflyer]

Wales ends up with the Rugby Union wooden spoon after losing all five games this season, a record, but slightly overshadowed by an immigrant becomming it's "first minister". Vorn Gonothing a full time joke of a politician follows on from the limp wristed Marcus Snakeford who singularly turned Wales into a laughing stock. Getnothing has already himself started playing the "race card", promoted elswhere as "the first black leader of a European country" when he simply is not. Wales is a not a country, it is a Principality within the United Kingdom. As Wales Health Minister Gonothing was a failure, he was the second runner in a two donkey race to the Sennydd. As for his credentials, never had a proper job, accepted £200k from a dodgy campaign donor, he is definately not up to the job as Wales f.m.

[@staceyleeellis9160]

Lets get this right, his family left Wales because of discrimination yet he decides to go there to study 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ianellis5634]

Hardly leader of a country, more a county councillor. Remember where all the money comes from, yes England!

[@TomKen-iu1md]

A disaster

[@ashleywhitethisisabsolutel1004]

Positive news that we have a new first Minister we should judge the man on his politics and his achievements, rather than skin colour! Great, we have a new first Minister who happens to have black skin, great news I’m sure in the name of progress yes absolutely but we should leave it there now as his skin colour really is on NO real consequence, and doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, to be honest. We should be asking ourselves the following questions, what are his politics, how will he help the Welsh people, how will he improve the education system? How will he improve the NHS and deal with the big issues we have in this country of Wales! Yes, he is the first black first Minister, well done, but now we need to get down to the politics and improving peoples lives and addressing the real issues!😊.

[@TheAlchemiss]

Is Scotland not a 'European' country? England?

[@KamerLewis]

Who voted him in 😮 hes an unelected squatter

[@Tylerbngjk]

Feel bad for Europe that has to suck for them

[@dosxali]

why

[@Piqueblinders11]

He never would’ve got in if the Welsh public had voted. Imagine a white Christian head of the government of an Islamic country. They would never dream of letting us

[@dosxali]

imagine if you were intelligent enough to know that theres no white and black people because we all have origins and nationality is the order of the day. and also look up how Moors ruled the land and seas, and how the US was first recognized by Morocco and now is lead by Europeans who claim to be Christian.

[@LowMax_]

​@@dosxali rayce is real and look this dishonest headline, he isn't even black he's mixed. Just yet another gloabalist attempt at confusing the population

[@niurkaguzman48]

One more town that’s going to shit.

*The music lmao.*

[@dosxali]

sucks how many racist people are in these comment. its earth it belongs to no one alone but together we can make it better

[@Steven-mb8xq]

The male version of Diane abbot. What a load of rubbish

[@danielbatten1837]

Yeah this guy owes 200k to return donations made that was from a criminal. Identity politics is the in thing right now how sad and damaging

[@ruthnovena40]

is his skin tone in the modern age the only thing you could come up with? you post nothing about his stance on anything.

[@davep1103]

THE SONG….. OH BOY ! 😏

[@mehcol]

Is that him playing the geetar?

[@noelleggett3727]

The colour of Gething's skin is irrelevant. Besides, there have been several dark-skinned leaders throughout Europe's nearly 3000 years of recorded history. For instance, Roman emperors, Septimus Severus and his son, Caracalla were 'black' European government leaders 18 centuries ago.

[@LowMax_]

He is mixed anyways.

[@noelleggett3727]

​@@LowMax_ Everybody is 'mixed'. There is no such thing as race. It's an outdated, debunked 19th century concept with no scientific basis.

[@margaretenoha5394]

I can already tell it’s no bueno

[@PaulWashington..]

There is One Way to eternal Life. Know Jesus. None other can cover our sin. All religion is contrary to Him. We need relationship with Him. John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jeremiah 29:13 New King James Version 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

[@bb5808]

Looks Indian to me

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

Nothing wrong as long as he can read and write. I doubt that anybody looked into that.

[@ssuwandi3240]

But he has a minus industrial background to solve the crises in the steel industry. Nor regulatory expertise. His whole career was in a consultancy.

[@ItsPrivateCC]

Who the frick cares about his skin color?

[@BernhardSchwarz-xs8kp]

He does - its the only asset he brings to the party.

[@knutwulnoth4950]

Ooh look , he has white hands!
