Pro-European Tories play down prospect of voting with Corbyn to defeat government on custom...

We will continue to work with the UK and Scottish governments to that end. In his speech Lidington also said the Tories were “too slow” to accept the case for devolution. Some powers are clearly related to the UK as a whole and will need to continue to apply in the same way across all four nations in order to protect consumers and businesses who buy and sell across the UK, in all parts of what we might call the United Kingdom’s common market. (It was very odd for a minister in a government committed to Brexit to be giving a speech in favour of the common market, but that’s another matter.) On the Daily Politics, asked if he was willing to vote with Labour on this issue, he replied: He also described Corbyn’s speech as “vacuous”, and went on: (@daily_politics) "It does not sound like you are are going to get what you want" @Jo_Coburn to @S_Hammond "If you don't, will you press ahead, voting with Labour MPs... to force the government to make sure the UK does stay within a customs union?" 2 - But Corbyn has also made it clear that customs union membership would be conditional on the UK retaining “a say” in EU trade deals. I do not agree with or accept the idea there has to be competition in mail delivery. Here is the key passage. Government ministers don’t make this point in their speeches. We are serious, very serious, about investing in every community of the country.
