Plaid Cymru’s Spokesperson for Trade and Business, Hywel Williams MP, has called for the UK to re-join the Single Market and Customs Union as “a vital first step to improving our moribund economy.”

His comments come following a new analysis by Goldman Sachs showing that the British economy has “significantly underperformed” other advanced economies since the 2016 EU referendum.

The report published today by the Wall Street bank concludes that the UK economy is worse off today than before Brexit, concluding that the decision to leave the European Union has hampered the economy to the tune of 5% versus other comparable countries.

Wait a minute! Have we asked the racists and nationalists to give their balancing beliefs about illegal immigrants taking all the official jobs?....... (Sarcasm)

Hate when us Welsh & Scottish nationalists are lumped in with those in England using the term 'nationalism' to thinly veil their racist bullshit.

We're pro immigration, and I imagine we always will be. The data speaks for itself, immigration is a net positive, to the NHS, the economy, and to our culture.

I'll admit though, I've got no idea how people in NI feel about immigration.

Apologies, I was referring to predominantly us English. A shameful event for those of us who didn't fall for the simple solution on offer.
