At the same time it was also said we would get a deal, easily, and the Northern Irish border wouldn't be a problem. Neither of these things came true and I don't recall that Leaving with No Deal was on the table either.
May's deal came closest to this with a transitional period whilst we arrange a trade agreement and a backstop to the Irish border. The latter was going to on the island of Ireland only until we requested it be UK wide to appease the DUP. The DUP voted against it anyway and so did the ERG.
