The UK Government has already said, following last night's vote, that it remains a red line for them—that they will refuse to accept a customs union. So, effectively, they're ruling out the kind of policy outlined in 'Securing Wales' Future'. And this is why, isn't it, that, generally, the consensus view emerging—in your party now as well; we've seen the MPs, the nine Welsh Labour MPs, who have come out unequivocally in favour of a people's vote—is that is the only means available to us of breaking the logjam and, indeed, ending the cataclysm of a 'no deal'. Your Cabinet colleague Vaughan Gething has said the time for indecision is long past and we must act now on a people's vote. The Minister for international affairs, Eluned Morgan, has made a similar commitment. Even the First Minister has said, 'I support a further referendum if all else fails'. So, when the no confidence vote fails tonight, what else is left to fail, when will we know that it's failed, and do you accept that, if the Welsh Government doesn't act quickly, clearly, decisively in response to tonight's vote, it's you that will be judged to have failed the people of Wales?
