      The debate about Britain [re-entering the EU’s customs union ](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/how-uk-rejoining-eu-customs-union-impact-you-4128914?srsltid=AfmBOoowCoQUFK3ic8VeXfLIw-ANtA6YWrwI1o7yUQSNQFLlmSI5mtTj&ico=in-line_link)“needs to be engaged with”, the Business Secretary has said as he pitches for [new economic deals](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/uk-fears-frozen-out-lucrative-europe-deals-french-4259386?srsltid=AfmBOor3ZEnfvvZjYxQgrLagP1W16zu7utMDGAszB_E83bprVT4uUKfL&ico=in-line_link) between the UK and the Continent.

      Peter Kyle warned that going back into the customs union would take years and would not prove “the quick fix that [some people think it is](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/labour-pressure-grows-unions-rethink-brexit-red-lines-4135121?srsltid=AfmBOopLmE1WIFZ2tg4OaxOebn0Fw1mcu7BaEo_-4_Egf-8mcDPV8-th&ico=in-line_link)” – insisting that it is better to focus on more immediate priorities such as closer working on cutting-edge technology.

      But he became the latest Cabinet minister to suggest that the idea should not be taken entirely off the table.

      Speaking during a visit to Brussels, Kyle urged politicians on both sides of the Channel to find new ways of working together which do not repeat the Brexit battles of the past.

      # ‘Our country has been dragged downwards’

      The Government has committed to staying out of the customs union and single market on the basis of a promise in the Labour manifesto, but pro-European campaigners have been stepping up a push to reconsider.

      Joining the customs union would remove the need for customs checks on all goods crossing between the UK and EU, but also cancel out all the trade deals signed since Brexit – including with the US, India, Australia and the CPTPP bloc centred on the Pacific.

      Asked whether the idea was something that ministers should consider, Kyle told *The i Paper:* “The customs union exists, and the debate about it needs to be engaged with. What I’m putting on the table can be delivered in six months and be highly consequential for every Briton, because it can turn the dial on economic growth.”

      It takes two to tango. The UK was barred from joining SAFE because Mr Macron only cares about Mr Macron and doesn’t give a damn fuck about the European Union.

      The UK rejoining the customs union might harm some French exports so it will be stopped again.

      EU members should just start negotiating bilateral agreements with the UK because the EU is held hostage by Macron’s ego.

      He’s an idiot. The customs union would hugely negatively affect the UK economy, even the IFS says this. Only the single market provides significant economic benefits

      I think the biggest thing that people should keep in mind is that the vote to leave was 10 years ago, that’s a long time, there are alot of people including myself who’s voice was completely ignored as we weren’t old enough to vote.

      I think that anything that brings the EU and the UK closer together is a good thing. But when it comes to anything relating to the UK rejoining the EU or seeking deals with the EU like the whole made in Europe thing, it can be incredibly disheartening to see things like “You can’t have you’re cake and eat it to” or “if it isn’t the consequences of your actions or “This is what you wanted get lost”

      Like I get my country made a mistake, but leave was not an overwhelming majority, lots of people wanted to remain, lots of people weren’t even old enough to vote for what they wanted.

      Please just keep that in mind.

      I’m fine with it, but no special treatment this time. Same border laws as everyone. Adopt the Euro this time. No more “it’s different for islands”

      The best damage control would be to negotiate with the the EU to gradually restore the most important aspects of EU membership, one deal at a time. Then the UK would eventually end up becoming the equivalent of an EFTA country like Norway for all intents and purposes, meaning same regulations, but no voting rights.
