DWYFOR and Meirionnydd MP Liz Saville Roberts has challenged Jeremy Corbyn to debate Brexit with her.

Plaid Cymru’s Westminster group leader, Mrs Saville Roberts invited Labour leader Mr Corbyn to take part in a public debate on the future relationship between Wales and the EU during his visit to Bangor in north Wales on Saturday.

The MP pointed to Labour’s “glaring inconsistencies” on the defining issues of Brexit debate such as membership of the customs union and single market, free movement of labour, and the future of Welsh industry.

She added that a public debate offered the Labour leader the opportunity to “set the record straight on” these matters and to reassure those people who voted for Labour in good faith at the election, believing that the party was committed to fighting against a hard Tory Brexit.

Mrs Saville Roberts said: “Jeremy Corbyn’s visit to north Wales presents an opportunity for him to set the record straight regarding Labour’s true stance on Brexit.

“At the snap election in June, many people voted for Labour in good faith believing that the party would do its utmost to oppose a hard Tory Brexit that would jeopardise jobs and weaken the UK’s ties with the rest of the world.

“However, the past few months have exposed glaring inconsistencies within Labour on defining issues such as membership of the customs union and single market, and free movement of Labour.

“Most worryingly, Jeremy Corbyn himself said last month that a Labour government would take Britain out of the single market – something that could jeopardise the 200,000 Welsh jobs linked to this trading bloc.

"Workers in Wales, and elsewhere in the UK, need certainty.

“That is why I am inviting Jeremy Corbyn to take part in a public debate with me on the UK’s future relationship with the European Union during his visit to Bangor on Saturday."

A spokesperson for Labour said: “Labour is campaigning in Arfon, where we came just 92 votes short of victory in June, and all over Britain to hasten the election of a Labour government after seven years of Tory rule.

“Jeremy is putting forward Labour’s programme of investment, funding for public services and a jobs first Brexit so we can transform Britain for the many not the few.”See this week's north editions for the full story, in shops and online on Thursday
