He added: "I've taken very seriously the debate in the Senedd today. I arrived, I attended, I took seriously the points that were made, I took them for what they were, and I responded in the chamber in a way that shows how much I respect the Senedd that I campaigned for more than two decades ago. “He has lost the confidence of the Senedd. The only person who is still batting for Vaughan Gething is Keir Starmer.”He said: "The Senedd has spoken on behalf of the people of Wales - we have no confidence in the Labour First Minister.
