‘The prime minister said the UK should consider “even closer alignment” with the single market. “If it’s in our national interest … then we should consider that, we should go that far,” he told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg.’

Back in 2016 Johnson wrote of the EU: “This is a market on our doorstep,
ready for further exploitation by British firms. The membership fee

Too fckin right given what happened yesterday. Parliament needs to re look at EU/single market membership.
