CHANCELLOR Rachel Reeves was taking the flak last night after confirming the UK could join a new continental customs arrangement.

She said she was "happy to look" at a proposed "pan-European and Mediterranean customs framework".

But Reform MP Richard Tice said: "Clueless Rachel wants to constrain the UK into a higher regulatory regime with no growth and high taxes. This will reduce growth and we should be going in the opposite direction."

EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic has suggested Britain could join the arrangement. It includes the EU as well as Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, six western Balkan countries, Ukraine, Morocco, Syria and Palestine.
