Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:26 pm on 5 September 2019.
Well, I’ve just heard a total lack of understanding of the whole business of the steel industry. If you want to talk about the loss of jobs, talk about Margaret Thatcher who damaged and devastated the steel industry and the coal industry. It’s not about the EU—it was a UK Tory, right-wing Government that did that damage, and it’s doing the same now.
So, I’m going to ask colleagues—. Actually, because I see the time left, I’m going to ask colleagues, 'Let’s support this motion.' Let’s send a single message out today that the attempt to damage democracy is unacceptable because it affects our jobs and our work and our constituents, and that a ‘no deal’ exit is damaging to our people—the people we live with, the people who live next door to us, the people we represent.
