I don't know where you have gained a belief that I have changed my mind on this - I haven't.. If you really believe you can have the best of both worlds in relation to goods, you are indeed chasing unicorns. You would have to square that with EU and WTO rules.

Anyone can see there’s at least four contradictory statements by you.

Er, what? Do you really believe that you can negotiate trade deals while belonging to a customs union? Would you mind explaining that?

I’m getting lost, you either can or can’t negotiate trade deals for services while in a customs union.
You seem further confused that I want the “best of both worlds” in relation to goods - that’s not the case. I’ve clearly said for a number of posts now
a customs union (not to be confused with
the customs union) covering goods and separate trade deals with the world covering services. I’ve lost track whether you believe it is possible or not but I can assure the forum your belief in it or otherwise is irrelevant, it is possible.
In around half of your posts you seem to grasp this. However in the other half it’s gone.
