The reality is that as the article explains "Mr Barnier has repeatedly spoken about how the only option available to Britain is a Canada-style free trade deal because of Theresa May’s red lines over free movement and the ECJ."
So, that will exclude services which account for most of our exports to the EU but include manufactured goods thereby allowing the Germans to carry on selling us their cars and the French their wine.
Whether we ever get to that stage given the Irish border situation is of course another matter.

It's not the only option, no deal at all is better than that, they'll like that option only slightly less than us plus on the upside we'll be able to become a fully fledged tax haven on the coast of Europe rather than simply masquerading as one like we do currently, they can also stick their much vaunted fair and level playing field where the sun doesn't shine to then as well
