AM: You’ve got a reputation as a straight talker and clear answers. There’s one issue on which you won’t give a clear answer. When you’re asked would you like to see us leave the single market, you can’t tell us.
JC: The single market is dependent on membership of the EU. What we’ve said all along is that we want a tariff free trade access to the European market and a partnership with Europe in the future.
AM: But to be absolutely crystal clear, we leave the single European market because we leave the EU?
JC: The two things are inextricably linked.
AM: So we have to leave the single market?
JC: Yes.
AM: Okay, that’s clear.
JC: And so the question is then the kind of trade relationship in the future, and we’ve made it very clear we want tariff free trade access with the European market.

But really the reasons why we wanted to leave the EU are the same reasons we don't want to be in the single market. By "we" I mean the glorious will of the British People of course.

But since we don't know what they are I think it's reasonable to suggest that something that is more or less the EU in all but name is not what people wanted. CU isn't that but SM/EEA more or less is.
Edit : I agree with DD not this madman shouting about bananas. Good job our politicians behaved better.

Labour in their manifesto wrote:We will scrap the Conservatives’ Brexit White Paper and replace it with fresh negotiating priorities that have a strong emphasis on retaining the benefits of the Single Market and the Customs Union – which are essential for maintaining industries, jobs and businesses in Britain. Labour will always put jobs and the economy first.
