There's a few problems with all this anti-Labour hype total bs and its that we burned all the bridges and insulted not just the EU but all the sovereign states in it, many of whom will vote against our rejoining. This sort of extremist Remain misinformation is one cause of Brexit.

Wrong. “Yet, we know that thousands of British businesses have stopped exporting to Europe altogether. It’s no secret as to why. The last government’s adversarial approach to working with the EU resulted in UK firms being buried in bureaucracy. /

We’re changing course – working towards negotiating the removal of unnecessary border checks while securing mutual recognition for professional qualifications so British businesses can more easily operate in France, Germany, Italy and beyond.

Terrible idea.
0.4% trade boost over 10years.
We have to obey all their rules with no veto .
Other side of the world.
This is crazy.
If we've going to join a trading bloc, let it be the EEA &EU

I hope Ed Miliband will have clocked that CPTPP etc is not exactly net-zero-friendly. I wonder what he really thinks about the idea?
