But that shouldn't be a surprise. No new trade deals for us if we stay within the Customs Union.

Jusging by your above post there's a chance it might have been. Nowhere in my post did I say that trade deals with countries were impossible. I just cited the laws of economics which mean that deals with countries closer to hand outweigh those with far away countries. NZ is not a significant trading partner.
What makes you think that forecasts don't consider the potential upsdes? Is this another conspiracy theory or one you have some evidence on?
Well, the forecast chaos when we voted against staying in the EU didn't come to much, did it? That is not the only example by far.
