(1/4) Last year, I set out my view on staying in the #CustomsUnion with the EU. It would put us in a worse position than we are in today – a complete sell-out of Britain’s national interest and a betrayal of the voters in the referendum. My view hasn’t changed. #Brexit #FreeTrade
(2/4) The UK cannot have an independent trade policy if we stay in the Customs Union. In the #CustomsUnion we would have to apply European trade law without having a say in how it is made. #Brexit #FreeTrade #FreeTradeUK
(3/4)To join a #CustomsUnion with the EU, like Turkey has done, would leave us trapped – unable to conclude proper trade agreements with countries around the world. #Brexit #FreeTrade #FreeTradeUK
(4/4) Voters chose to take back control and now MPs want to give even more away. None of this makes sense. It's time to get back to a proper #Brexit. #CustomsUnion #FreeTrade #FreeTradeUK
