from itertools import groupby
from operator import itemgetter

l = [[0, 'a', 'b'], [1, 'c', 'd'], [2, 'e', 'f'], [3, 'g', 'h'], [1,
'i', 'j'], [2, 'k', 'l'], [4, 'm', 'n'], [2, 'o', 'p'], [4, 'q',
'r'],
[5, 's', 't']]

[
    [x for g in gs for x in g[1:]]
    for _, gs in groupby(sorted(l), itemgetter(0))
]
