In 12 years time it'll be a reformed tory party that take us back the singlemarket IMO.
Over time it's going to become an unglamourous, technical thing that we'll make sure that our standards (and everything else) are the same as / accepted by the EU; no one who makes anything or provides any service would diverge because it doesn't make economic sense.
There's therefore no universe where we don't end up having closer ties to the EU - and call it what you want along the way but it'll eventually, after several iterations and steps, be the single market (or a close version of it), and from there it's probably inevitable that you'll end up wanting to join fully. And every step towards it will presumably be an economic win for the country.
It's been, and will continue to be, such a waste of time!

That's never going to happen, I'm sure the original estimate of the number of customs officers they would need was 100k plus.
It'll be interesting to see how there going to quietly drop the EU retained law bill now, if that goes then I think this period of time will be see as the first step on the way back to the customs union and single market at least.
Even the hard brexit guys have given up, Steve baker having a cry on news night last night was funny. In 12 years time it'll be a reformed tory party that take us back the singlemarket IMO.
