Background
It has become quite clear the Brexit has not worked. The country is suffering severe financial circumstances. Studies have shown that the UK is losing £90 billion annually due to the damage caused by leaving the EU. The government must address this situation. It cannot be done with new trade deals. But it can be rectified by enjoying the financial freedoms that EU members have in regards to trade, namely the single market and customs union. The UK needs to trade under the conditions.
