Madam,

Liz Saville Roberts is quite right to complain about the way the Tories are making such a mess of their Brexit plans ('Chasing unicorns is not a plan to achieve Brexit’).

There is however strong hope at hand.

The leader of the Labour Party in Westminster, Jeremy Corbyn, has written to Theresa May detailing a plan which it is widely believed would get parliamentary approval if she adopted it.

This would not be one of Mrs May’s unicorns for it has met with the approval of the EU’s European Council president, Donald Tusk.

The plan envisages a new customs union between the independent UK and the reduced EU, and the UK having a strong relationship with the single market underpinned by shared institutions and obligations, and dynamic alignment between both parties on workers’ and citizens’ rights and standards.

This would be Brexit without the devastating effects a ‘No Deal’ would have on Welsh hill farming here in Gwynedd, on the border questions with Ireland and on UK industry.

And it is Brexit, not the proposal the Scots Nats made which comes close to demanding ‘No Brexit’, which the Labour Party could not support but which Liz Saville Roberts could, even though Wales voted to leave, and even though the Corbyn plan, accepted by Europe and with genuinely supportive plans for those losing out under Brexit, would meet all Wales’ demands.

May would be wise to accept Corbyn’s proposals. Corbyn has produced a real plan that saves Brexit and saves us all from its down sides.

Let us hope that Liz Saville Roberts can get behind Labour and Jeremy Corbyn’s Brexit plan and their determination to undo the harm that Austerity and fear of Brexit have done.

Yours etc, Ian MacIntyre, Shelbourne Court, St John’s Hilll, Barmouth.
