Here's South Wales East AM David Rowlands' latest Argus column:

SORRY, but I have to use that B word again - Brexit.

Remain campaigners, ably abetted by the political establishment and big business, are tearing the British people apart.

Their continuing denial of the democrat vote for leaving the European Union is causing a huge and dangerous rift in the people of the UK.

By fuelling the discontent of Remainers, the political establishment both at Westminster and the Welsh Assembly are provoking unparalleled unrest amongst this normally law-abiding nation.

Yet incredibly by calling for a 'people's' referendum on Europe, they infer that those who support the democratic referendum of 2016 are to blame for the current discontent in the citizens of the UK.

Perhaps I should remind them that Ukip, who were without doubt the main force in obtaining the referendum, did so by democratically engaging with the people, even though it took us 25 years to achieve our goal.

We again hear calls from the Labour and Plaid benches in Assembly for this so called 'people's vote'.

As I asked in a recent Assembly debate who are they inferring took part in the last referendum, some sort of sub-species?

The truth is much of the Remainers rhetoric, including Remainer politicians, suggest those who voted to leave are in some way intellectually impaired, and did not understand what they were voting for, but my many months campaigning and talking to people in the run up to the referendum, and long before, left me in no doubt that they new exactly what they were voting for.

Amongst which was an end to mass immigration, the return of power to our democratic Parliament in Westminster (though given recent events not the type of Parliament we now have), for our courts to have supremacy over European courts, and an end to sending billions of pounds to Europe.

These are the things people gave as their reasons for wanting to leave the EU, hardly an ill-informed group of intellectual inferiors.

The result at the Newport West by-election shows Ukip is well and truly on the rise again, gaining 8.6 per cent, up six per cent on the last General Election, beating the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and a host of start-up parties, in coming third to Labour and the Tories who dropped 12 per cent and seven per cent respectively.

This would put us on track to gain five AMs at the next Assembly Election.
