I’m glad of your reminder of one of my old oaths there, Huw. Making the best of a bad job in this current situation, while exiting the EU, means actually trying to stay in the single European market, like prosperous Norway— outside the EU but in the single market. Because the single market, as we’ve heard, is vital to Wales. Sixty-eight per cent of Welsh exports are to the EU; 200,000 jobs in Wales are tied to that single market. All that European regional aid funding: what’s going to happen to it? Don’t hold your breath; it’s not going to come from the UK Parliament. All this stands to be thrown away if we just roll over and vote to trigger article 50 without so much as a whimper, giving Theresa May a blank canvas to cosy up to Donald Trump in a desperate bid to strike a trade deal with somebody.

Now, just a thought: under the current Government of Wales Act 2006, relations with the EU are not listed as a subject of competence or an exception. Stay with me now, team, right; it’s a silent subject. The Assembly does have competence now to legislate for silent subjects, provided that the legislation in question also relates to a devolved subject, like agriculture, that the leader of the Conservatives is so keen to lead our farmers down whatever blind-ending country lane. So, UK withdrawal from the EU will mean the end of the common agricultural policy and a have a huge impact on our agriculture, which is a conferred subject now, devolved to Wales. It could be argued that this Assembly has the competence now to legislate on the issue of whether notification under article 50 should be given now. Like I said, just a thought.
