UK finance minister Hammond speaking to BBC Radio 4

  • we accept we will not be full members of the EU customs union
  • we can't cherry pick in Brexit talks
  • it's not in anyone's interest in Europe to see lines of trucks at borders after Brexit
  • we have plans for Day 1 after we leave the EU in a huge variety of different outcomes
  • nobody wants to see hard border between N Ireland and Irish Republic after Brexit
  • we simply do not recognize some of the very large numbers being bandied around in Brussels for what UK will have to pay to EU during Brexit
