Crossing red lines

WHAt will life outside the eU look like? Will we be like Norway, turkey or even Albania? the remain campaign threw the question at Vote Leave but then, before waiting for an answer, ruled out any alternative.

Vote Leave was clear: none of these models would work. the Norway model, with Britain staying in the eU’s single market, would mean continued free movement of people, paying billions into the budget and having to accept eU rules without getting any say over them.

the turkey model, with Britain remaining in a customs union, would see us become a silent partner with no influence in the eU or global trade deals, according to the CBI.

We were clear: leaving the eU is about taking back control of our laws, borders, money and trade. these are the red lines set by the public and these will be crossed if we do not leave the single market and customs union.

Indeed, remainers repeated it over and over again as a threat: leaving the eU would mean leaving the single market and customs union. WILL PODMORE,
