If we are going cap in hand for free trade deals with anyone and everyone we will be more exposed to their demands, not less.
A customs union, in effect a free trade deal, with the EU on goods allows us to maintain no tariffs with out closest neighbours on goods while being able to negotiate with the rest of the world on services. It actually strengthens our hand, not weakens it.

So your argument goes that we are forced to do whatever Germany tells us to?

We will do whatever anyone negotiating with us (that has the upper hand) tells us to. USA, China, Japan, Germany, India, France. You know, all the big players. That’s why it’s called capitalism.
