Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 6:14 pm on 30 January 2019.
I am grateful to you for giving way. I supported the deal. I wanted to remain in the European Union and I fought hard to achieve that, and failed. But I don't think it was failure in the face of a barrage of lies, though there was a lot of slipping and sliding what people said. But I've accepted the result.
I greatly regret the fact that if every Conservative had voted for that deal two weeks ago, it would have passed by one vote. And I greatly regret the fact that an awful lot of Members of the Labour Party know that the backstop could have gone through if enough of them had supported the deal as well. And then we wouldn't be in this current position.
