Er, I think that is precisely what the government is proposing! It's Labour's current ruse that would end up making everyone poorer, as most of their policies would.

A Brexit with a customs union would be the worst possible outcome. That would mean we couldn't forge our own trade deals, which is the whole point of Brexit, and we would also end up making a financial contribution to boot! Poorer for us on two counts.

Brexit means Brexit. Not a half hearted attempt to make it look as though you're listening to the people and not succeeding.

Nobody mentioned shutting down debate or letting people have their say, Den.

Who said that? Oh, look, you did!

As for Fantasy Island, I think that is where you are right now, Andrew, given your unrelenting negativity and clutching at straws with every left wing or anti-Brexit view you can muster. You can tell yourself you are right if you like, but you are in for a big disappointment before much longer. We are getting out of the EU, single market and customs union. That's all there is to know at the moment.
