gathered last week, they couldn't agree on a post—brexit trade plan. gathered last week, they couldn't several opposed the prime minister's preferred option, leading some brexiteers to think they'd killed it off. not so, said the business secretary today. he came out arguing for a close customs deal with the eu, saying thousands of jobs depended on it. you can compare markets, but actually you need to have in mind the futurejobs, but also the very important jobs for people today. but also the very important and perhaps stoking tensions with brexit backing tories further, he said arrangements could take longer than planned. which ever option is chosen, it will take some time to have them put in place and available. it will take some time to have them so what are the choices? it will take some time to have them one option, a customs partnership would mean on behalf of brussels the uk collects tariffs on goods coming into britain that are destined for the eu. coming into britain that the second, a highly

streamlined arrangement, would aim to minimise checks on trade at the irish border using technology and other schemes. on trade at the irish border that's what brexiteers favour, claiming those who think it won't work are just scaremongering. claiming those who think it this project fear has been so thoroughly discredited you would have thought it would comel to an end by now. we trade successfully all over the world. the delays on goods coming into southampton are tiny, and we will have control of goods coming in to this country. that prompted tough talk from fellow tories. i'm sorry, i don't think that these, these ideologues, i don't think they represent the best interests of british business, and therefore our economy and therefore the people of our country, and theresa needs to sort them out and see them off. the problem for the prime minister is which ever way she turns she's likely to upset somebody. is which ever way she turns she's number ten has officials, working on the option, but this complex customs conundrum won't be easily solved, with such deep divisions in her party. won't be easily solved, with such meanwhile, labour's convinced it can pile on the pressure by winning support for its customs plan.
