You'll notice no-one claims you can have have frictionless trade outside the customs union and single market anymore.
Funny isn't it. How long did we live with that nonsense? Two years? Countless interviews and debates filled with incessant gibbering horseshit. Plainly false. Stated anyway.
And then one morning you wake up and it's gone. The alternative arrangements lot accept trade won't be frictionless. The PM admitted today there'd be a need for checks.
But no acknowledgement, let alone apology. This is how a post-truth society takes hold: people switching positions without even realising that they're doing it. A complete disconnect between objective reality and what people say.
