I don’t think it’s remarkable to view all trade agreements as “what’s in it for us”. It’s hardly a groundbreaking interpretation of capitalism.
If we unilaterally impose no tariff or controls on EU goods and services that leaves us in a weak negotiating position with the rest of the world.

How does jfman's flood of goods balance against the BoE "worst case" financial forecast?

Does the BoE assume we put no tariffs on EU imports?
If not we are talking about different hypothetical futures, neither of them positive for different reasons. Tariff free can’t reduce costs from EU countries because they already are tariff free.
