Brexit Confusion

No wonder Michel Barnier has said that trade barriers are unavoidable if we leave the customs union and single market. The government talks with many voices, all of which are conflicting. The hapless Brexit Committee is to meet twice this week to try to agree something, but there is no point in coming up with an aspiration which cannot and will not be achieved. At every level the British people are being misled, mostly by Brexiteers, but also by former remainers like May, trying to appease elements of the Tory party diametrically opposed to the voice of reason.

The present position can be summed up thus. A confused passenger at an airline terminal demanding to fly the Atlantic, but refusing to do so in an airplane.
