Step up now

JOB-destroying trade barriers with our biggest markets when we leave the European Union would be a disaster, so Theresa May needs to get down to business.

Tory civil war is recklessly endangering prosperity and security and it is damaging a weak Prime Minister, who is reduced to the role of impotent bystander in the most important international negotiations for decades.

She needs to raise her game considerably and be brave, facing down Tory fanatics by explaining that remaining in the European customs union is vital. It is time to make huge choices and people voting Brexit did not vote to lose their jobs or be poorer.
