TIME FOR A NEW DEAL

Plaid Cymru will stand up for the interests of Wales and vote against the Tories’ bad Brexit Deal.


This Tory hard Brexit will mean farmers who sell their lamb to the EU will now face complex new paperwork and checks. Businesses will face significant new barriers to trade when our economy is already in crisis because of Covid-19. It paves the way for ripping up workers’ rights and environmental standards and undermines democratic devolution. And our young people will be locked out from opportunities – such as Erasmus - granted as a right to other young Europeans.


No party that claims to stand up for Wales, or for working people, can do anything other than oppose this deal and the future it represents.


The notion that the choice is between the Brexit deal and no deal is also an entirely false choice. 


What Wales really needs is a New Deal.\


A relationship with Westminster which would allow us to be a good neighbour rather than a badly-treated tenant. 


This means control over our economy, justice, welfare system and natural resources where decisions are made in the best interests of everyone who lives here – a truly independent Wales.
