common market 2.0, sometimes known as norway plus, would keep the uk in both the single market and the customs union. it is not the kind of brexit that one half of the conservative party would be in favour of. it rules out the uk doing its own trade deals, but it does keep the border open and there is a deal on services as well. but it is not a bespoke option, a sort of cherry that you can pick and say, now we can move on. there would still need to be negotiation, but it may answer some of the concerns that the european union has. the other option is of course the customs union, which has been put forward by the conservative mp ken clarke. it failed by just conservative mp ken clarke. it failed byjust six votes last time. so it will be interesting to see how many conservative mps get across this. when the speaker comes back in the next few minutes and you hear these results, you will have to look at what size of a majority of these options have. what the european union is looking for is a stable coalition, a coalition that can take this through the house once they have decided what it
