But your original point was about Kate Hoey and I inferred that you thought she was being hypocritical. May stitched us up.
There would have been a hard border on the island of Ireland and you know it. Regardless of who constructed said border the U.K. would be held responsible for its construction.

So in your scenario we would have no trade deal with the EU and the US wouldn’t have a deal with us as any trade deal with the US is as you well know dependent on their being no hard border.

Pains me to say this but Boris is a better statesman than you at least he realises what would have happened should we have taken your route.
