Worth taking a good look. The proposal upholds the red lines I have as a Brexiteer - taking back control of our money, our borders, our laws, leaving single market & customs union, leaving CAP and CFP. But also meets EU red lines....

[Make it British @MakeItBritish]

Interesting times for manufacturing when big brands like Gucci bring manufacturing in-house.
