Sir Keir Starmer said it "makes sense" for Welsh Labour to review its campaign funding rules following controversy over donations to Vaughan Gething's leadership bid.

The UK Labour leader was in Wales for the first time since Mr Gething was appointed as first minister.

Mr Gething's campaign received £200,000 from a company run by a man convicted twice for environmental offences.

The first minister has rejected calls to repay the money.

However, he will hold a review of campaign funding.

Good argument could be made that Welsh Labour had very little fangs to begin with.

Well I guess so, but they are still further left than the Starmfurher... Which is a plus.
