Let’s not beat around the bush. Brexit is failing Wales.
I agree with Labour shadow minister Anna McMorrin who said this week that she hopes we can get back into the single market and customs union. The Welsh economy’s prospects are diminishing – our businesses struggling with the burdensome paperwork and extra costs and forced to pay more taxes due to the Brexit shaped hole in Treasury coffers.
Labour First Minister Mark Drakeford seemed to agree with me too, when in FMQs this week I raised the obvious solution to help thousands of families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis – that is to boost trade and opportunities by re-joining the single market and customs union.
