First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, accused of scaremongering in national debate with Nigel Farage

Welsh First Minister went head-to-head with Nigel Farage in a televised ITV debate over the European Union

Carwyn Jones’ scaremongering about Brexit during last night’s debate included the claim that businesses would leave Wales if Britain left the EU. Citing the examples of Toyota and Airbus, the Welsh First Minister said: “They’re interested in a market of 500 million people… These are all companies that are in Wales because it’s a European base for them.” When Farage disputed this, Jones insisted: “Nigel, I speak to them, what do you do?” So, would Toyota and Airbus quit if Britain voted to leave?

This is today’s FT splash:



And this is a BBC headline from June:



More Remain campaign myths busted…

Twitter poll after @ITVWales debate finds 79% thought @Nigel_Farage won, just 21% came out for @fmwales

The Remain campaign are going to have to come up with something to persuade us to vote to stay in the EU other than the world will end if we leave.

Nick Clegg tried and failed, and now the First Minister of Wales has failed to make the case.

Thoughts?

Is there a particular reason it was (only) the FM of Wales?
