Best to back out of that one quickly so we can forget about it.

Seph, I'm afaid that link slips below your usual standards. I can only attribute this to be shock at Iain Duncan Smith feigning ignorance of a withdrawal agreement he was praising to the high horses before! He showed contempt for voters and he has rightly been called out on this.
My previous link to the original document demonstrates the Canadian deal was more than IP. This is a pertinent extract:

I think it's logical that the EU wouldn't want a heavily subsidised socialist state on its doorstep with easy entry into the single market or a highly de-regulated one with very low standards. Thanks to such tight negotiating deadlines, the EU can afford to push for an
even stronger level playing field. You may recall that the Canadian deal took some seven years to arrange.
I'm more interested in the now and what you think about Iain Duncan Smith's apparent change of heart or memory loss?
