Flashback to two years ago. How IDS and Owen Paterson claimed the Brexit negotiation process would work.
As we approach the A50 cliff edge, worth reminding ourselves of the level of strategic thinking prevalent among senior Con MPs around the time they decided to trigger the two year countdown clock.
One wonderful feature of this 2016 "action plan", is the plan is literally one action (offer talks) described in four points. The other three are just huffy defences of the single action. Its an Underpants Gnome Action Plan:
1. Offer talks
2. ???
3. Brexit!
Notice also these pearls of 2016 Brexiteer wisdom:
1. We will stay in the single market
2. But we don't pay anything and dump FoM (CAKE!)
3. We don't have to negotiate if we don't want to.
Whole document in the attached link.

Not mentioned at all in the Executive Summary, as far as I can see:
1. Customs union
2. The Irish border
