I hadn't planned to speak today as I think I've made my views on Brexit very clear on numerous occasions in this Chamber, including earlier in First Minister's questions, but I have now decided to make a brief contribution. 

I very much welcome the motion that's tabled by my party and by Plaid Cymru today, and which is being debated in tandem with the Scottish Parliament. It is absolutely right that both Parliaments send a clear and unequivocal message to the UK Government that we are united in our opposition to a 'no deal' Brexit. 

I am absolutely clear that a 'no deal' Brexit would be a catastrophe for Torfaen—for our thousands of manufacturing workers, for our public services who depend on staff from our European partners, and for our young people who have had no say on such a fundamental decision that will affect their future, and they will have to live with for years. 

I also, however, plan to vote for the Plaid Cymru amendment on the people's vote today. I understand the reasons why the Welsh Government is not supporting that amendment, but I am personally not prepared to vote against something that I have repeatedly called for inside and outside this Assembly for months. For me, this is a bigger issue than party politics. This is a big issue for our country that will affect our future for years, and I have to vote on my principles on that. For that reason, I will continue to back a people's vote on the Brexit deal. We know that the promises that were made in 2016 cannot be met. It is only fair and democratic now that people are given the final say on something that will affect their lives and their futures for years to come. [Interruption.] They were given a say, David, on something that nobody was clear on. We now know what is a Brexit deal. We now also see very clearly that the best deal we have got is the one that we have got at the moment that gives us all the benefits of EU membership, with an opportunity to reform it from inside, with a seat at the table. That is why I am pushing for a people's vote and why I will be supporting the Plaid amendment today and also the Government motion to send a clear a message to the UK Government on Brexit.
