前英国财政大臣乔治·奥斯本表示，英国经济自脱欧以来已经"崩溃"，并主张英国重新加入欧盟关税同盟以刺激经济复苏。1 奥斯本在接受采访时指出，"脱欧一直是场混乱。英国基本上从悬崖上掉了下来。"1 他认为重新加入关税同盟是"相当简单易行的事"，1 这一举措无需接受人员自由流动的单一市场条款，1 从而可以帮助恢复与欧洲大陆的贸易和投资。
奥斯本将重新加入关税同盟描述为"相当直接的决定"，1 相比之下，英美贸易协议计划"目前看起来相当不切实际"。1
Former British Chancellor George Osborne has argued that the United Kingdom should rejoin the European Union's customs union to revive its struggling economy.1 In his assessment, Osborne stated that "Brexit has been a mess. Britain has basically gone off a cliff," characterizing the economic impact since the country's departure from the EU.1
Osborne contends that rejoining the customs union represents a straightforward policy option that would not require accepting the EU's single market provisions on free movement of people.1 He emphasized: "I would rejoin the customs union. It's a quite simple thing to do."1 According to his position, this step could help restore trade and investment flows with continental Europe without the full commitments of single market membership.1 Osborne also suggested that the proposed UK-US trade agreement "looks pretty fanciful now," implying limited prospects for alternative trade arrangements to compensate for reduced EU commerce.1
