Theresa May will go back to the drawing board to find a post-Brexit customs compromise to unify her cabinet, after ministers could not agree what approach to take.
The prime minister is said to have asked for her two existing options to be revised in a bid to find a consensus following a meeting of her Brexit “war cabinet”.
Up to now Ms May has proposed two options ? a “customs partnership”, which favours closer customs ties with the EU to avoid a hard border in Ireland,
or a “streamlined arrangement” with looser customs ties, but a harder border.
The prime minister is yet to name her preferred option, though she and Philip Hammond, the chancellor, are thought to favour the partnership plan
? which is hated by Brexiteers who see it as too close to the UK’s current customs position.
