THE WELSH government has waved the “white flag of surrender” over Brexit by agreeing a “dodgy deal” with the Tories and selling Wales short, according to the leader of Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood.

In an excoriating column exclusively for today’s The National, Wood accuses the Labour Welsh Government of cosying up to the Tories and Ukip.

The Assembly Member warns that the deal will see “Westminster’s dominance over Wales written into statute”.

“The list of 26 policy areas once under our control now on their way to London is astounding and could grow longer at the flick of a pen in Westminster.

“No longer will we have the final say over farming, fishing or our environment, to name just three areas conceded to Westminster under the deal,” she warns.

Wood says the people of Wales have been betrayed by the “transformation” of the Welsh Government.

“They have gone from working with Plaid Cymru and the SNP, to calling us ‘flag waving nationalists’. At least ours is not the white flag of surrender.”

She adds that the deal agreed between the UK Government and Wales “contains a huge range of provisions which Labour promised they would never accept”.

“For a start, it includes a seven-year time limitation on Westminster’s domination.

“Something which, as already noted, the First Minister expressly said he would never accept as a ‘matter of principle’.

“Perhaps most galling is the acceptance by the Welsh Government of the bizarre situation where Westminster can now interpret our Assembly’s non-consent as consent.

“Yes, you read that correctly – under our new devolution deal, Westminster can interpret the Assembly saying ‘no’ as ‘yes’. We are truly through the looking glass.”

She adds: “In Scotland, the fight goes on and resist Westminster’s grasp you must.”

When Wood criticised the deal in the Senedd last week during First Minister’s Questions, Welsh Labour’s Jennie Jones, who was standing in for Carwyn Jones, told her: “The Welsh Government has secured significant changes to the UK Government’s EU Withdrawal Bill that protects the devolution settlement.

“Welsh ministers have come to an agreement with the UK Government that many areas already devolved will remain devolved.

“The bill as originally drafted would have allowed the UK Government to take control of devolved policy areas, such as farming and fishing, and that is no longer the case.”

Scottish Labour’s Richard Leonard has said he thinks the deal being offered by the UK Government isn’t good enough.

Last week Leonard told a committee of MPs: “I agree that there has been a degree of movement which has provided for people to now think about reaching a settlement. But I take the point that the definition of consent is problematic, and I think there are still knots in the bill as it stands that need to be untied.”

Former First Minister and Scottish Labour leader Henry McLeish told The National that Labour should not be “ashamed of standing up for Scotland” and resist the bill.

The Scottish Parliament will likely vote on the controversial legislation on May 15. Of all the responsibilities currently held by Brussels to be repatriated to the UK after Brexit, there are 111 in areas devolved to the Scottish parliament.

Though there has been agreement on some, there is deadlock on 24 of those powers.

At the meeting of the Constitution Committee, when asked five times by SNP MSP Bruce Crawford if Westminster will overrule MSPs if they don’t back the bill, the Scottish Secretary, David Mundell, gave no guarantee, saying: “I want to focus my efforts on ensuring that we do get consent.”
