UK risks spiralling into trade hell if we stay in EU customs union

BRITAIN will be stuck in a “twilight zone” if forced to stay in a customs union with the EU, a report warns today.

Top economists say we would be stuck between the reality and fantasy of Brexit — taking orders from Brussels but denied the benefits of free trade.

The PM Theresa May has been urged in a letter from top economists to consider a clean break now as EU chiefs show little sign of wanting to agree a tariff-free deal

A report by Economists for Free Trade argues Britain would be £140billion better off under World Trade Rules.
