Leaving without a deal—I don’t know where to start, if truth be told. I will say first of all that I do accept that there are different views in the Brexit debate, but I have to say that the small minority who favour a 'no deal' exit are willing to take an unreasonable risk with our social and economic well-being, and that’s why we as a party today have introduced this quite simple motion, so that the Assembly can again speak clearly and state that we must ensure, come what may, that leaving with no deal has to be avoided.

I thank those, including those on the Government benches, who will be supporting us today. Who will be listening to the Assembly? Well, out experience over the past two and a half years suggests that not many will listen. The whole issue of Brexit has shown to me how heedless the UK Government is of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. As the First Minister himself has said, and Steffan Lewis and others who have been part of the Brexit discussions and have been involved with them over the past few years, the views of Wales have been ignored far too often and our aspiration to safeguard the future in our nation has also been ignored.

But we must once again raise our voice today, and that’s our intention by tabling this motion. Yes, the people of Wales voted by a small majority on the principle of leaving on the basis of the promises made, but I am confident that people didn’t vote to damage our economy. The pledges made were empty pledges, of course. I hear Mark Reckless barracking from his position there, and he was shouting earlier in the Chamber that, ‘You lost—get over it.’ Well, that’s not the level of debate that’s going to bring people together following this, whatever the outcome of all of this is. You should be ashamed of the childish way in which you are, at this point in the debate—
