@mikegalsworthy You can't re-join THE #Customs #Union without re-joining the #EuropeanUnion per se. You can, however, have A Customs Union between the #UK & the #EU. #Turkey, #Andorra & #Monaco are all #countries that have #customs #unions with the EU. None of them are in the #SingleMarket, the #eurozone, the #SchengenArea or #EFTA. Better, by far, to re-join the EU!

The idea that #Starmer actually attempted to obtain a #SingleMarket, in #goods only, from #Brussels, when he ought to have known that it would be rejected out-of-hand is utterly risible, @ChrisMayLA6. He should know for a cast-iron fact that it's all 4 freedoms - or NONE of them! The #Tories wanted #free #movement of #capital, #goods & #services, but not labour, & were told they couldn't have their cake & eat it. The same rule applies!
