Tobias Ellwood said there is an "appetite" for a rethink and claimed polling indicates "this is not the Brexit most people imagined".
He added that "more radical thinking is required if we are to energise our economy through these stormy waters" and that single market membership would resolve the issue surrounding the Irish border and promote Britain's European "credentials". Writing in The House magazine, he said "one common standard" might be better for British industry, instead of firms following European and British regulations."Let's not forget, both Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher endorsed this model, with the view that the potential economic benefits outweigh the drawbacks," he said.
Treasury minister Simon Clarke said he was "pleased to reassure Mr Ellwood" that Britain would not rejoin the single market, which he said would "extinguish half the freedoms that make Brexit so important".
The Conservatives will rip themselves and our nation apart just to save their power, were in the Brexit mess because Cameron called a referendum to unify his party, it ripped us apart and did nothing to fix the party's problems. You helped them do it LBC.
Tories don't have a clue about what is best for Britain. They're too busy looking out for what's best for themselves.
Not surprising with this bloody remoaner
Well he was correct about tanks in Europe. 😬
Funny that you put Unelected Bureaucrat David Frost in the picture ToryBrexitDisaster
EU is in a bigger mess than UK, no doubt. Nothing wothwhile ever happens when 27 parties have a say. They'll already be working out how to dodge the Russian sanctions. UK actually only leeft EU about 18 months ago. It seems more 'cos Remoaners can't stop pissing their pants 🕵️♂️
Single market this year, freedom of movement by Christmas. Brexit has proven itself as not a way to save the U.K., but a a way to save the Tory party.
Yes let's destroy our economy with red tape,and pounds and ounces instead.🤣 about time someone told home truths in the Tory party than fantasy nostalgia about the past.brexit has been a major disaster,need grown ups back in charge again.
People don't like admitting they were conned.

That's because they're a cult of grunting racist Neanderthals for whom it is more important to deport innocent people to concentration camps in Rwanda than stop the interminable crisis and decline that they have forced upon the country with their Brexit scam.
Truth cannot be countenanced in the Tory party 🔥
'Nobody's talking about leaving the CU and SM' - it was a key promise of Vote Leave. They lied to us. It was only the ERG nutters who forced a hard Brexit on us with threats of dividing the Tory party...and the Tories put party before country.
But he’s right some sense at last
