A former British Conservative minister has sparked controversy after he argued the UK should “upgrade Brexit” by rejoining the European Union’s single market.

Writing in The House magazine on Wednesday, Tobias Ellwood, the Tory MP for Bournemouth East, argued that his proposed Brexit “course corrections” would ease the cost of living crisis and make the political impasse in Northern Ireland go away.
