Seen it all before in various guises
The problem for Leave though is their lack of a consistent view has allowed opponents of Brexit to enter the gap. Nobody has, or perhaps even can, explained the strategy for March 30th.

Is the optimal position to continue with existing suppliers on new tariffs? Move to other suppliers (non-EU, or where the EU doesn’t have an FTA) on revised tariff such. Are we unilaterally not going to impose tariffs? That’s not a sustainable position. You’d be forgiven for thinking someone influencing it has a political or financial interests for as much chaos as possible to happen in the interim.

Nobody has made any attempt to quantify the supply side problems. They either don’t exist (which isn’t credible) or it’ll be the end of the world as we know it (slightly more credible, attracts more readers/viewers).
