Part of 3. Topical Questions – in the Senedd at 3:12 pm on 16 January 2019.
Well, Llywydd, the Member asks what happens next. First of all, I certainly haven't given up on the prospect that the House of Commons will reject this Government. His party will vote tonight in favour of a motion of no confidence. I wish he had the confidence in the no confidence motion that his party will support. That's what I want to see happen; I want to see this Government defeated and a general election. And I completely disagree with him that a general election is an irrelevance, because not only would we have a Government that would deliver a sensible approach to Brexit, but we would have a Government that would turn its back on austerity and all the things that we, across this Chamber, his party included, week after week, call for here. There is so much more at stake in a general election. That's why we need a new Government, and think what that would do for Wales.
