No. Do you know what I—? [Interruption.] Do you know what I—? [Interruption.] I’ll tell you what—. [Interruption.] Let me tell you. Let me tell you. The situation is worse now because of the kind of messages that have been sent out by people like Neil Hamilton and his ilk to those people who are supporting our NHS, who are supporting our care workers. They are people who are here from the EU, and they feel now that they are unwelcome because of Mr Hamilton and his ilk.

I think this resolution is typical of UKIP—full of glib, easy answers in a very sophisticated and complex world. They’ve made promises they can’t keep, and they won’t be kept. They have led the people of Wales and the United Kingdom up the garden path, and I predict that he will be safely miles away from Wales in his lovely house in Wiltshire if we fail to gain the promised agreements he’s made when the whole edifice comes crashing down—if we fail to get the kind of agreements that he predicts are so easy to get.
