DWYFOR Meirionnydd’s MP has lambasted senior politicians for the “catastrophic misadministration and timewasting” surrounding the current Brexit deal.
This week has seen a major reshuffle in Westminster as two high profile ministers – Brexit secretary David Davis and Foreign secretary Boris Johnson – quit Theresa May’s Cabinet following disagreements about how the Brexit negotiations should unfold.
With just weeks to go until vital discussions with the European Union regarding the future partnership, or lack thereof, between the UK and their neighbouring trading bloc Plaid Cymru MP Liz Saville Roberts has offered a scathing critique of both the Conservatives and the Labour Party.
“The government is in utter chaos,”according to Mrs Saville Roberts, who considers herself a remainer.
“Whatever way you voted, no-one aspired to this catastrophic misadministration and timewasting,” she said.
And referring to Conservatives and labour, she added: “They’re both peddling fantasy solutions that won’t stand up to the cold reality of negotiations.
“Time is running out – there are only five working weeks left between now and the next European Council.
“Come 30 March next year, and Wales will be out of the EU, either with or without an agreement.
“Plaid Cymru calls for what is best for Wales: to remain in the single market and customs union, to extend Article 50 in order to hold meaningful negotiations, and for the government to offer a people’s vote between the status quo and their final deal.”
David Davis and Boris Johnson tore into the Brexit deal announced after the crunch cabinet meting at Chequers last Friday before resigning.
Mr Davis has been replaced by former housing minister, lawyer and leaver Dominic Raab.
Britain’s longest-serving health secretary Jeremy Hunt replaces Boris Johnston as Foreign Secretary.
Mrs May, whose new-look Cabinet met this week for the first time since the resignations, has warned that her party must unite or risk the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn becoming prime minister.
Mr Raab will now take over day-to-day negotiations with the EU’s Michel Barnier, who this week was reported as saying 80 per cent of the Brexit deal has been agreed.
Mr Corbyn, whose own party is split on Brexit, says Mrs May should call a General Election if she cannot win support for a final Brexit deal.
