That has always been their position and still is.

If the withdrawal agreement, had that in it, there'd be no need for the backstop.

Just to put the record straight on that.

When May finally got round to including Labour in talks near the end of her premiership.
Had she included a customs union plan in the agreement, she'd have got at least 190 likely Labour votes supporting it.
No general election at all.

She wasn't though allowed to bring back the results of those talks as her Party kicked her out before she could.

Then again those ERG grouping would have tried to vote it down, with any customs arrangement proposal in it.

Well said Joey.
The slim ref majority should only result in a soft brexit.
Had May been a stateswoman she would have formed a coalition with labour to sort brexit and a soft brexit would have sailed through the parliament.
As it happened she wasted 3 years on tory brexit which was voted down by some of her own MPs
Pathetic partisanship
