Two years and three months into her premiership, there are plenty of MPs on all sides of the House of Commons who believe Theresa May has run out of Brexit road. The Brexit secretary, Dominic Raab, may travel to the Belgian capital tomorrow to prepare the ground with EU officials and ambassadors. Any suggestion that the UK could remain in an EU customs union indefinitely meant being tied to the EU in perpetuity. They want to keep the UK in a customs union and as close to the single market as possible. The party will not support any Brexit that does not involve full single market and customs union membership, both of which May has ruled out.
