No, we don’t. I don’t agree with you there. Just accept the fact that, when it had the chance, the Government at British level opposed—vetoed—the increased tariff situation, otherwise we would be with the USA at 522 per cent, not at 16 per cent. Just accept that as fact. [Interruption.] Last November was last November. This was February when things were evolving and the chance was there and the UK Government vetoed it. Stop blaming Europe. And it’s time to grow up. Blame the UK Government. Now, you’ve left us at the mercy of the UK Government.

Ac i orffen, felly, rwyf yn gobeithio y bydd yna gydweithio rhwng Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Gyfunol a’r Llywodraeth yma yng Nghymru. Mae yna sialens anferthol o’n blaenau ni. Mae gyda ni filoedd o bobl yn fy rhanbarth i yn wynebu dyfodol ansicr, ansicr iawn. Nid oes angen chwarae rhagor o gemau. Wrth gwrs, mae’r sefyllfa nawr mewn stad o barlysiad—mae’r holl system wleidyddol wedi’i pharlysu, ond mae’n rhaid gweithredu nawr. Diolch yn fawr.
