And I’ve mostly stuck to factual questions on the Brexit process. The backstop leaves the whole of the UK in a customs union with the EU “unless and until” the EU agrees it can leave. Why does Jeremy Corbyn think he can negotiate a different or better deal with the EU than Theresa May? (Patrick Speer, Scotland and Liam, Australia)Britain is not formally allowed to negotiate new trade deals while still an EU member. When will all the turmoil be over – aren’t you going insane?
