customs union

There will be no return to the European Union's customs union or single market or freedom of movement.

Their position is that the UK should rejoin the EU's customs union - an agreement between member states not to charge tariffs on each other's goods.

The party's spokesperson for foreign affairs said "setting ourselves on an ambitious path towards a customs union is the best way to give some certainty to British businesses".

Destroying all trade barriers with the EU is impossible if the Labour government keeps to its own "red lines" of not rejoining the bloc's customs union or single market.

The government has ruled out re-joining the EU, including its single market and customs union.
