This is the #SingleMarket WITHOUT the Single Market, without #free #movement of labour, without the #Schengen Zone, & minus either THE #CustomsUnion or A #Customs #union. It is the worst of all worlds, an absolute dog's breakfast - & only the #LabourParty could have dreamt it up, @ChrisMayLA6!
Britain could adopt single market rules without MPs’ vote as part of UK-EU reset

@rmblaber1956 @ChrisMayLA6 it is an improvement on the current situation, though.
Current UKCA-marking legislation is not aligned with the actualité of the government's announcement and guidance that CE marking will be accepted indefinitely.
Fixing that removes masses of ambiguity.

@marktyndall @ChrisMayLA6 It's better than the proverbial poke in the eye with a sharp stick, I grant you that much - but this #Labour #Government would sooner do a Faustian bargain with Old Nick himself than re-join the #SingleMarket proper or the #EuropeanUnion - all for fear of upsetting right-wing #voters. #Starmer & co. make me SICK!
