'Let the healing begin', said Boris Johnson after winning the general election, and judging by the contributions since, the healing process is going really well. [Laughter.] Reconciliation and healing require some reaching out by both sides of an argument. Otherwise, we have unseemly triumphalism on the part of the victors, and entrenched bitterness and despair on the part of the vanquished. Rubbing our noses in our defeat repeatedly—'You lost'—hardly constitutes reaching out in a spirit of mutual reconciliation and healing.

However, we are where we are. We are all leaving now, as Adam Price said this week. Healing means that it's time to start thinking positively, in spite of everything, time to turn from power grab to power gain, and to take advantage of some of the flexibilities afforded to Wales outside the European Union—flexibilities including the ability of the Development Bank of Wales to allow lending without the constraints of state aid rules; devolving power over corporation tax, capital gains tax on property, apprenticeship levy, air passenger duty and VAT; flexibilities like developing new procurement rules to support our foundational economy; flexibilities to create Welsh free ports at key ports and airports; flexibilities to develop Welsh work permits as part of a Welsh migration system. The red dragon of Wales taking back control. Letting Wales and its people be unleashed to realise their full, unfettered potential.

But Wales and its very existence faces is a very real threat because of the way Wales voted in the referendum. Wales voted to leave—austerity and people feeling left behind ensured that outcome. Now, I do believe that the outcomes of referendums should be respected, but that means all referendums, including the previous one here in Wales in 2011 for more powers for the Senedd, because recent events suggest that the outcome of the 2016 referendum somehow trumps the result of the 2011 referendum.

We have seen Welsh Government frozen out of the Brexit negotiations since they started in 2016—not even in the room. We have seen common frameworks, shared governance supposedly, with little evidence of the 'shared'. We have seen Welsh Government having no recognition in trade talks, as David Rees said, and with the shared prosperity fund, the details of where European funding goes have always been decided here in the Senedd for the last 20 years. Now Boris wants to decide. We face a power grab.
