Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I want to thank the UKIP group, or what's left of it, for bringing this timely debate forward today, and of course it is timely because we would have been leaving the European Union on Friday. That's what MPs have previously voted for in agreeing to trigger article 50. That's what the public voted for in the 2017 general election, with 36 of Wales's 40 MPs elected on a manifesto promise to deliver Brexit. And, of course, that is what Wales voted for back in 2016, as we've quite rightly already heard.

The problem is that many politicians in both Westminster and here in the National Assembly believe that they know better than the people who elect them. They don't respect the result of the referendum or the reasons why so many individuals voted to leave the EU. And they're now perpetuating that anger and resentment against an out-of-touch political establishment by trying to overturn the verdict of the biggest democratic exercise in Wales in a generation.

So, we will not be supporting the Plaid Cymru amendment, which calls for a return and a rerun of the referendum in a people's vote. This would be a complete betrayal of voters across Wales, including Plaid voters in many Plaid Cymru areas, all of whom voted to leave, especially Carmarthenshire, Ynys Môn, Rhondda and many parts of the south Wales Valleys. We'll be opposing also—
