NEW: Rhun ap Iorwerth formally nominated as First Minister of Wales following a vote by Senedd members. It comes after @Plaid_Cymru 's historic election victory last week. The King will confirm the appointment later.
What I'm hearing from Cabinet this morning...
- No dissent around the table itself after the PM said he wouldn't discuss leadership there
- Sources say after the meeting he refused to meet Wes Streeting who tried to catch him
- Cabinet ministers made the case that war in Iran, conflict and Cost of Living should be the prios
Gov source: "Full focus right now must be on the job of government - millions of people are depending on us"
Supporters break out in Welsh national anthem Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau at the steps of the Senedd as Plaid leader Rhun ap Iorwerth is still taking questions from the press…

EXCL from @Connor_HandLBC - Just 17 of the 121 businesses who backed labour before the election tell us they still support them now
Govt accused of being "consistently s****" & the “wheels have fallen off”, that they are "expected to pay a disproportionate amount to support an unsustainable, growing welfare state" with a "flurry of anti-business policies"
“I don’t think anyone would support Labour at this stage,” says one.
Business Sec Peter Kyle hits back, saying their plan is the right one but acknowledges some firms are struggling: "Our economy can only thrive when people have a wage they can count on, and I'm committed to improving job security while ensuring we work with businesses on what our Plan to Make Work Pay means for them."

The Director of Public Prosecutions makes clear that shouting 'genocide' at a Jewish child is a hate crime - and that hate crimes will now be 'fast-tracked' by prosecutors.
EXCL: David Lammy confirms that there were “worries” about Peter Mandelson’s appointment at the time, telling me in an exclusive interview for @LBC that there was “a discussion within government” about it but “ultimately it was an appointment by Number 10” (though says he takes responsibility too).
EXCL: ‘Iranian agent’ offers to pay undercover LBC reporter for criminal acts on London’s streets.

He says Donald Trump’s Scottish golf courses should be sanctioned
“I'd really like to see Donald Trump kicked out of his golf courses. I don't think that you know you should be able to start illegal and unpopular wars and still have golf courses.”

Trust in politics matters. There can be no situation in which officials fail to flag concerns to the Prime Minister and ministers, who are accountable to the house and the public .
