So A Senior Labour Minister With His Snout In The Trough.

[DTCwordfan]

Vaughan Gething accepting £200k from a waste company, whose MD is under criminal investigation....smells like one of the Welsh sewage farms they manage.

Views?  Particularly interested in those from our beloved lefties.

it's corruption and must be stamped out. private companies do not fork over campaign donations unless they are sure they will get a favour for it.

I don't want to get into a bout of whataboutery but feel I have no other option.  200K is a mere bagatelle when compared with this.

The amount is irrelevant.

And that is just whataboutery.

I wonder if there's a 'campaign bus' parked up on a housing estate somewhere in the valleys.

the amounts may be different and I don't really care whether its 10 mill or £10, it's the principle of such immorality and destroying public trust - what's needed is a faster and more severe ride to prison for anybody who is proven to have their nose in the snout.
