I do not believe there is room for membership of the single market, if it entails free movement of people.

We do not need to be part of the single market to sell into the single market; countries like the US do perfectly well in that position.

The unelected commission is likely to be stubborn but elected governments are likely to be different.

We need to make clear to them that it would be in our mutual interests to have a free and open trading relationship, but that we cannot accept the concept of free movement of people. This is not a requirement for a trading agreement.

No other country with whom we have such an agreement demands it in return.

Great Britain is an outward looking liberal democracy, which has helped shape much of the world around us with our values and behaviour.
