Well, however naïve Fox and Davis might have been, it was not lying; it was optimism that might well have played out nicely had May negotiated on the presumption of no-deal.
"Ah...", the Remainers say, "... the Leavers now know that what Fox and Davis said was untrue, a lie and thus a new Referendum is required". But Leavers had access to every commentator and Varoufakis was widely published (and on TV) right at the outset telling us all how the EU would behave.
If there is to be a referendum, then May's deal or no-deal are the only democratic options for reasons of grounds already covered ion this thread.

I feel compelled to point out that negotiations on a trade deal haven't actually commenced yet.
Only Parliament have been difficult with the
withdrawal agreement, although not without cause as far as the backstop is concerned.
