Please #newsnight, don’t let Hannan lie to the nation. Turkey & EU have hard border because a) it’s only a partial customs union b) Turkey is not in single market and is therefore subject to regulatory checks, as every other non-member of SM. This is not hard. Make him answer.
Now Hannan talking about ‘clobbering third world’. Another outright lie. The EU lets poorest countries export all their goods except arms tariff-free. Majority of other countries have preferential access. One suspects owning up to this BS would be like discarding his identity.
Hannan is a fraud. His only answer to every question is cartoon EU evil and rose-tinted British exceptionalism. The fact he is the intellectual godfather and moral custodian of the entire movement tells us what we need to know about it. #newsnight
