Does the minister accept that there is a credible alternative to the Tory Brexit shambles that, first, respects the result of the referendum; secondly, resolves the issue of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland; thirdly, challenges the economic deficit that will come from Brexit; and, finally, stops further austerity? That alternative is to support permanent membership of the single market and the customs union for the entire UK. There is a natural majority across the UK for permanent membership of the single market and the customs union.
