Which friendly country would stop selling us medicines and food, particularly if we charge no duties?
Whether or not the EU holds the high cards, if they behave badly in this regard we are right to walk away.
On the other hand, I don't believe that the EU would go that far or come anything close - Varadkar notwithstanding.

The EU aren't saying they're going to stop selling us food or medicine.
The Government is worried about chaos at the ports physically bringing goods into the country. If he have hastily arranged customs checks then delays would be the problem. I think can just wave things though. As far as I can work out the Government don't actually know what the hell they're going to do so are saying they're stockpiling stuff to be 'reassuring'.
You can generally buy whatever you want from other countries if it's legal there, the issue is if it's legal here.
