FIRST Minister Carwyn Jones and Plaid Cymru’s leader Leanne Wood set out their stall yesterday in the Brexit negotiations debate.

Their white paper contains a plan for Brexit with the key demand being full access to the single market.

Mr Jones and Ms Wood say that changing freedom of movement rules rather than abolishing them would allow access to the all-important single market within the EU, something they say is vital for Wales.

It is right that Wales has a voice in the Brexit debate but this White Paper illustrates how complex it is going to become.

Scotland has its own agenda, and the plan for Wales as set out yesterday is not in tune with that of Prime Minister Theresa May who seems intent on us leaving the single market.

Nor does it have the support of other political parties in Wales.

There is also the political tightrope that must be walked given that Wales voted to leave the EU in the referendum, a decision which has to be respected.

Add in to the mix the fact the Supreme Court will today rule on whether or not the Prime Minister has the right to invoke Article 50 without a vote in Parliament and you start to get just a hint of how tricky this is all going to be.
