Remoaner chiefs try to thwart Welsh vote
AN AXIS of Left-wing Remoaners in Wales are trying to force Britain to stay in the European single market, despite a majority of Welsh voters backing Brexit.
Labour First Minister Carwyn Jones and Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood yesterday united to demand the UK stays in the single market.
The demand – contained in a Welsh Assembly white paper – was damned by Ukip.
Neil Hamilton, the party’s leader in Wales, said the paper was a “collection of soundbites” and would “pull up the white flag” to Brussels.
He added: “This is a kind of primal scream from those who lost the referendum and they’re trying by the back door to keep us in the EU.”
The leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies, accused the other parties of ignoring the wishes of Welsh voters who backed Leave in the referendum.
He said: “After seven months of flip-flopping, dithering and denial, the Left-wing political establishment in Wales has clubbed together a late, half-baked plan in the effort to remain relevant and credible.
“Sadly, this ‘plan’ for Brexit has only sought to appease their own in the Cardiff Bay bubble, showing a blatant disregard for the wishes of the Welsh public.”
