Vaughan Gething, a candidate for First Minister, has come under scrutiny for accepting a £200,000 donation from a recycling firm subsequently fined £300,000 over the death of Anthony Bilton, an employee. The Tory Senedd leader criticized Gething's judgement in receiving the donation, which is linked to a firm that had a solar farm request in Cardiff. Mark Drakeford was questioned about the controversial donation but his response was not detailed in the tweets. The company, involved in Bilton's death, admitted breaching health and safety laws.
