Well, déjà vu, here we are again. It feels like 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019—hysteria, portents of doom and hyperbole. I've read through some of the comments that hit the headlines in the last few weeks. Jeremy Miles:

'This Bill is an attack on democracy and an affront to the people of Wales'.

Well, I'm sorry, Jeremy, but the people of Wales voted to leave the European Union and possibly shouted the loudest last December when the so-called red wall was breached spectacularly, even in Wales, on the promise of getting Brexit done.

We've also got Plaid Cymru: it's the

'destruction of two decades of devolution.'

And the next one is:

'Two referendums will be ignored and the will of the Welsh people overturned if this law is passed.'

That one is my particular favourite, and I beg to differ. If anything will destroy devolution, it's the call from Plaid and Labour for more of it when, in my view, it's been a spectacular missed opportunity on many, many levels. And you mention referenda, which is so deliciously rich. When democracy gives you the right result, it's okay, but, when it doesn't, you'll kick and scream all the way to the general election in 2019, and still you will ignore the clear message you have been given by the electorate. The confected political outrage is predictable, and I've been very, very disappointed not to see the words 'cliff edge' or 'hammer blow' in the mix as well. But now this. You are really shouting, as usual, inside your own echo chamber. Households in Wales are not discussing this—they are struggling to make ends meet, they're trying to get GP appointments, and they're washing their hands. Yes, I've had a couple of e-mails about it, but it's clear that north Wales constituents are more troubled by the persecution of hen harriers than what's in this Bill. 

I do accept that the timing of the Bill has not been great with regard to the consultation periods. However, we are in unprecedented times on more than one level. And we all know how the process works, because it's our process too: sensible amendments may be made, and are in the gift of the Government if they have the majority. Here, the Welsh Government uses its slim majority to pass any law it wants, whether or not it appeared in a manifesto. And, as we all know, primary legislation is given its detail with supplementary regulations. The Conservative UK Government was gifted its majority party, I would say, as a direct result of much of the shenanigans here in this Chamber. I'm not going to repeat here the arguments, well worn, about Brexit, standards, sovereignty, but I do find phrases such as 'power grab' and 'race to the bottom' very unnecessary and very childish. The Prime Minister's European chief Brexit negotiator, David Frost, gave good reason for this Bill in a detailed thread on Twitter a few days ago. It appears that the EU is putting food supplies to Northern Ireland at risk. I'm sure that reason alone would be enough to convince any unionist who believes in the integrity of the union to support this motion today. 

The Brexit Party was very vocal last year on how bad the withdrawal agreement was. No-one wanted to know about it then, and, if the lack of good faith of the EU means we have to walk away in the clear interests of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, I'm very comfortable with that. This Bill is another step on our journey—our long and arduous journey—to national sovereignty, and, for that reason, I wish to put on record that I will be supporting this motion unamended today. Thank you very much.
