Michel Barnier has urged Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn to strike a pact keeping Britain in a customs union with the EU after Brexit.

'It should have been predictable the day after the referendum that our political class would do what politicians have done across Europe and either stop

These two are definitely In cahoots to stitch us up

Although with a customs union would the Irish back stop need to be in the withdrawal agreement? Maybe the Withdrawal agreement may need to be reopened after all!

And the ERG thought Mays deal locked us in to the EU!?! Wonder what their verdict is now we could have that plus a customs union?!?

No no no no no no

No customs union, if that is the option we might as well stay in the EU and at least have a seat at the council table. Leaving otherwise we will be bossed around and have no seat at the table or able to do our own deals worst of all worlds

Our PM reports to them, not us, obviously.

No. No. No.

MichelBarnier I bet he does. Long extension. Give a protest vote to UKIP for MEP’s and install a strong leader to get a real brexit

It will never be accepted.

It's in Britains interests to walk on the 12th April. Pathetic little con men.

She needs no encouragement to betray... look at her WA stitch up

Customers. If they raise prices we shop elsewhere. THEY NEED US AND OUR MONEY. they will quickly reduce prices to btong us the customers back.

Leave means leave. We are a great nation that has been dragged down by politicians out only for themselves. No deal brexit gives us a greater ability to trade EVERYWHERE. Brexit is like running a business or even supermarket shopping. Europe is the supplier and we are the

May and Corbyn are not the only players in the EU debate, many Labour and Tory MPs are not supportive of Remain or Leave, then there is the DUP and the SNP.

RevokeArticle50

To suit yous I hope not.

Naturally he would, he and the other rentiers gains from it. We don't so no thanks comrade.

The EU would encourage UK to sign up to a CustomsUnion as it’s in the EU’s interest but not the UK’s. It would be disastrous for the UK and it’s not Brexit.

The nail in the Conservative and Labour coffin

The customs union would obviously be the preferred option of the EU

Or better still scrap Brexit.

No no no MichelBarnier the UK wants to RevokeArticle50 Remain StopBrexit

Brexit was sold as non disruptive,then that's the least all of us can expect it to be. It's not great, but nearly anything is better than no deal.

Tell Barnier to go and get stuffed!! We all hate him...

Oh no not again he told her that last week She is so compliant they are her masters

The plan is obvious and it includes a non Brexit Brexit. Parliament has managed to make a complete pigs earout of a silk purse.

Do we just burn st georges flag now or do we get 1 more look at it come April 23rd. Total disgraceful parliment

simarkuk Shock! Who would have thought it. Nothing to do with Agent Cob meeting regularly with Barnier.

He would. Hobbles the UK and ensures we are subservient to the EU. Only a cretin would support one.

All playing out the script...

Anything Barnier urges us to do... we should do the complete opposite.

It will be an outrage if these two do this, they should never ever have been allowed at the helm. I bet Michel loves this idea. We’re better off revoking article 50, seriously, we will be way worse off, this is madness.

Of course he does .. he doesn’t us to buy cheaper food & produce from outside the protectionist single market. He doesn’t want the UK thriving post-Brexit.

Barnier - one of the grown-ups in the room. What a contrast with so many Westminster charlatans.

I bet he does the weasel

Because doing what your opponent suggests is in your best interest. HOW DOES A NATION OF TRADERS HAVE THIS SORRY EXCUSE FOR A GOV.

I bet he does..

Heres a tip ,, why not just STFU about Brexit 24/7, and go off and get a life , a real proper one

If the EU's unelected leaders have so comprehensively interfered in our political life BEFORE we capitulate, can you imagine the state of affairs when May finally gives them the keys to our Kingdom?

We need to leave and to see what happens. If the wheel falls off then we can always try and put it right.. “The majority vote by Britons to leave the European Union was an act of raw democracy. Millions of ordinary people refused to be bullied, intimidated and dismissed with open contempt by their presumed betters...” Wonder What Parliament Has in Store for those That Don't Agree with Them? MASS ARRESTS?

Brexit LIVE: Theresa May to betray her Brexit red lines and capitulate to Corbyn’s demandsTHERESA May is on the verge of binding Britain into a permanent customs union in the hope of winning Labour support for her failed Brexit deal. When the Referendum was held people, who voted Leave believed we would get a deal with the EU , they were told it would be easy . 2 years later it’s my belief that people like the ERG , don’t and never did want a deal . It’s time Mrs May looked to all her opposition for support.
