Since then, our Remainer-stuffed Parliament has pulled every trick in the book to keep us as close to the European Union as possible. And now MPs want Britain to stay inside the customs union, the EU’s most important legal construct, while claiming they “still respect the referendum result”.

This is abject nonsense. The customs union is enshrined in the 1957 Treaty of Rome, the EU’s legal bedrock. The EU is, in essence, the customs union.
