The EU combined has a bigger market and larger GDP than we do. They'll still have the single market with each other whereas we'll have zero trade deals. They're about to add a trade deal with Japan forming the single biggest free trading zone in the world.
Losing one of it's biggest countries will be bad for the EU but whereas they lose the ability to trade without any friction with the UK we lose the ability to trade without any friction with all of them.
So where is the idea that they have to budge on their red lines and we don't have to move on ours coming from?
