The Hartlepool MP expressed that such actions would undermine the Leave vote, which was strongly supported in areas like his.
He voiced his concerns after the Prime Minister indicated a desire to bring Britain back into Brussels’ sphere and bind the country to additional single market regulations.
There are also worries that the measures being prepared may extend far beyond what has been publicly stated.
It could grant ministers extensive powers to align the UK with the EU across numerous sectors.
Mr. Brash told The Sun: “There is a distinct line I will not cross.
“I do not support covertly reintroducing Britain into the single market or customs union.
“That would be deceitful, violate our manifesto commitment, and further diminish trust in our party.”
Another Labour MP representing a Brexit-supporting constituency cautioned that the UK would end up as “rule-takers with no influence.”
The Prime Minister has dismissed the idea of joining any Brussels economic bloc.
However, he has stated that he intends to explore potential agreements if they would benefit the UK.
