It is obvious, and has been for sometime, that the EU do not want a bespoke deal.
They want us to remain in the CU and or the SM and therefore shackled to the ECJ.
Neither of which are compatible with the result of the referendum.
It doesn't matter what max-fac - or max-fcuk we come up with, they wont agree to it.
So we should prepare for the no-deal because that is what is going to happen, and it's not because of any particular failing of the UK government, it is because the EU do not, cannot, and will not give us a decent bespoke deal.
Junckers himself said at the very beginning "brexit cannot be a success"
If we want to make brexit a success it will have to be despite the EU, it will be hard work and difficult, but it shows you the vindictiveness of the institution and our former European partners.
I voted remain, but this whole period post referendum has ended up turning me into an ardent leaver. If there was another referendum I would now vote leave. I would suggest there are many others like me.

You don't need trade agreements though, which why the WTO is there.
We don't have a trade agreement with China, yet our market is flooded with Chinese goods
