The exegetical zeal of the Brexit fanatic wanting to pick over individual words in English and Welsh—at least he's bringing that variety to his feast. The First Minister repeated the position that the Welsh Government has adopted since the very beginning, that full, unfettered participation in the single market and continued participation in a customs union would be immensely to the benefit of the Welsh economy, and a sensible UK Government that was interested in putting the needs of our economy first would extend those benefits to Wales, as yesterday it appeared willing to extend them to the island of Ireland. 

What Mr Reckless went on to object to was the fact we intend to raise a small number of thousands of pounds on transactions worth large numbers of millions of pounds in order to make sure that 90 per cent of commercial transactions in Wales either pay no tax at all, or don't pay any more tax than they do today. That's because he shares Neil Hamilton's basic view of economics that the only way to make rich people work harder is to make them even richer, and the only way to make poor people work harder is to make sure that they don't have enough to manage on so that they don't relax onto the benefits of the dole.
