"Listen to our cousins from down under Mrs May"- urges West Midlands UKIP MEP James Carver, following comments from Australia's High Commissioner.
Alexander Downer has warned Britain will have no control over its trade policy if it remains in a customs union after Brexit.
Mr Carver said: "The Australians want to do business with us - as does the rest of the world! To prevent us from conducting trade nogotiations with non-EU countries during a transition period would be ludicrous, which is why we should walk away now and adopt World Trade Organisation rules.
"European countries will still want to trade with us - we are too much of an important market for them to take their bat home - the European Commission might wnat to do that, but the companies in the member states will not let that happen because they need our lucrative business."
