What amazes me is how politicians can blithely talk about the maintaining a customs union when the conditions are ridiculous. What sentient country or government would or could possibly agree to be bound to an economic instrument over which they have no control? Its palpable madness. It betrays both leave and remain camps in one simple act of self immolation!

Leave really does have to mean leave. And if the government cannot stomach that then the only realistic alternative is to revoke article 50.....except they are too chicken!
