Comment: It would appear that something similar is already in the works:
The Guardian understands that earlier in the day, the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, had been urged by France during an internal meeting of EU27 diplomats to demand that the UK sign up to dynamic alignment across the board on state aid, environmental, social and labour standards.
Over the next eleven months, the shape of Britain's future relationship with the European Union will become evident. With such a large majority, the government has broad latitude to decide its own approach to negotiations.
Consider this article to be a warning to Boris Johnson. Do not let the British people down. Do not give in to the EU, in the hope of gaining closer access to its markets. Do not allow the UK to be so tied in to future EU rules that we can't possibly negotiate a decent trade deal with other countries around the world. Do not tie the UK in to EU immigration laws. Do not permit the European Court of Justice any role in policing British laws post-Brexit.
