What the petition asks

We, the undersigned are deeply unhappy that the Government has decided to keep the UK in the Customs Union beyond the Brexit transition/implementation period.
We further reject the use of the Irish Border "problem" as the reason for this decision (the so-called "backstop") and therefore call upon the British Government to immediately reverse this decision and keep its promise to the British people that the UK will be leaving the Customs Union at the end of the transition/implementation period in 2021.
