The red lines were put in place for a reason. They are what the leavers wanted and reflected the referendum result.
It was made very clear in the campaign, for example, that leaving would ensure we could make all our own laws and forge our own trade deals. Ruling out the belonging to the customs union achieves that. If we did not insist on those red lines, we would not be out of the EU and we would not be able to influence new EU legislation. Surely, that would be a backward step.
Someone should point that out to Corbyn, who seems to be totally confused and directionless on this issue.

MPs need to get their acts together so we can leave with the minimum of further delay.
