Brexit Secretary David Davis has been accused of being "taken hostage by the hard Right" after it emerged he once sang the praises of the single market and the EU customs union. But it has since emerged that Mr Davis was once in favour of the EU single market which he hailed as a "success" and said remaining in the customs union would help British businesses, the Mail on Sunday reported. He said: "The 2012 version of David Davis recognised the real problems that could emerge if we leave the customs union. Both freedom of movement and the single market are two of the "four freedoms" that the EU considers the founding principles of the union – and you cannot have one without the other. Currently 44 per cent of the UK's exports – £220bn out of £510bn – go to the EU which are currently tariff-free.
