His comments come just days after Amy Nickell said leaving the single market was “a terrible mistake”.

“When your friends organise a holiday, I didn’t want to go to Iceland, but I went anyway and I had a nice time.
“So I’m trying to have a nice time with this but unfortunately it’s not working is it.
“Billions have been lost with the way the trade is going, we really need the single market that has been a terrible mistake.
“I really think that the free movement of people is one of the best things that we could do to make sure that all our industries were supported and staffed.
“But it turns out that most of us actually don’t want those jobs.”
