The UK maintaining product standards with the Irish Republic means adhering to EU rules, and would have consequences on our ability to trade with countries who insist on different standards.

This bit might be my favourite

Fourth, no ‘divorce bill’ whatsoever should be paid to Brussels. The UK government would assume the EU’s property and liabilities in Britain, and the EU would assume Britain’s share of these in Europe. If Britain was getting its fair share, these would balance out; and if Britain wasn’t getting its fair share, it’s the EU that should be paying Britain.
So we will just seize EU assets in the UK? What a wonderful start.
