If and when we and the EU arrange a free trade deal, option 1, then we

relationship than we would if we trade with them on WTO terms.

Keep saying it. Look at the agreement Norway etc already have. The idea we
will get a better deal in the short term is pie in the sky. Because then
Norway and Switzerland etc would rightly demand it too. Then other EU
countries would rightly ask - 'why are we paying for the EU (etc) when the
UK gets free trade by leaving?

Basically, turkeys don't vote for Xmas. The chances of us getting any deal
which will suit the Brexiteers is zero. It will either be one similar to
what we had as a member, or none at all. And this country can't afford not
to have a deal with the EU.
