Vaughan Gething becomes First Minister

Last week, Vaughan Gething became the First Minister for Wales. This made him the first black leader of any European country. But also marks another diversity milestone: all four of the top jobs in the UK (prime minister and three first minsters) are held by women or persons of colour.

For international context, Rishi Sunak is currently prime minster while Humza Yousaf is first minister of Scotland and Michelle O’Neill is first minister of Northern Ireland.
