Trust matters in politics. But the recent donation scandal surrounding the Labour First Minister of Wales threatens to erode that trust.

Earlier this year, during the Welsh Labour leadership election, it came to light that Vaughan Gething had accepted a staggering £200,000 donation from a convicted criminal and environmental polluter – David Neal of Dauson Environmental Group.

Not only was this the largest political donation ever recorded in the history of Welsh politics, but further investigative pieces by Nation.Cymru’s Martin Shipton discovered that Vaughan Gething had actually lobbied Natural Resources Wales on behalf of Dauson Environmental Group when he was economy minister – encouraging them to go easy on the company.
