And how she championed the single market and free trade. And promised the then Japan PM we would never leave the single market. You and you’re chums are letting her down. https://t.co/MMtSWrS0KS

Putting Thatcher on the £50 note would be a timely reminder of the fact that it was Brits who created the EU Single Market you're so desperate to drag us out of!

Margaret Thatcher was one of the architects of the Single Market.
There is no way she’d want Brexit. Unlike you, she put country first.
You’re welcome.

"Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers—visible or invisible—giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the world's wealthiest and most prosperous people." Margaret Thatcher, 18/4/1988. https://t.co/OHfuGt4W2P

Yes – campaign for entry. Do deals. Care about the single market and Britain's place within it. Never consider leaving https://t.co/e6WJU5SQsJ
