Dave, if I was in charge of this, I would be talking to various countries with whom we wanted a trade deal and getting agreement in principle on the detailed arrangements we were looking for post Brexit. You are aware, of course, that we cannot enter into anything formally until we actually leave.

If it is not possible to ensure that we can get bespoke deals on day one when we leave, all we have to do is get a general agreement with each of those countries that the existing arrangements will continue, for a period of, say, 2 years, during which time negotiations for a new deal were continuing. The document for these interim arrangements would be drawn up, and this would give us the window we need to secure a new bespoke deal with each country.

As I said, not rocket science, you just have to think it through. You can't just throw up your hands at every problem that comes your way and declare "We're doomed" or "The end of the world is nigh" bcause we're not, and it isn't.

And let's not forget that we will continue to trade with the EU, deal or no deal.
