MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.
The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

Brexit is the most absurd hill for Labour to die on, and yet there's no doubt that they're dying, as recent poll numbers prove.
It is stark staring mad that their approach to Brexit continues to be "slightly improve the lifeboats on the Titanic".

We need to fix our trading relationship with Europe to turbocharge our economy and protect Britain from Trump’s trade war.
We believe in Britain's future. And we believe that future is brighter, stronger and more prosperous when we work more closely with Europe.

Both Conservative and Labour MPs should commit now to voting down any Trump deal that sells out British farmers and their high food standards or waters down our online safety rules.

Speaking on @itvpeston.bsky.social , the elephant in the room is the government failing to consider a customs union with the EU.
We lost 4% of GDP from the Conservative's botched deal, billions that we could have access to.
The world has changed, we should have a different conversation.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.
They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.
