A free trade deal would not include any development (or any other) grants or confer any UK citizen or EU citizen any exclusive rights. so no, nowhere near EU membership without the costs.

“The benefits“ of trade does not preclude there being other benefits. I didn’t say “all benefits”.

I'm afraid that you have shown in a wide range of subjects that optimism is a characteristic that you don't possess. The glass half empty type.

2016: Easiest trade deal going.
2017: May’s deal
2019: Boris deal shifts effective leaving date to end of 2020
2020: Biggest economic shock since Great Recession.
No, it’s not obvious to me that businesses have had “ample time”. We haven’t held a coherent policy position for 18 months.
I’m afraid your bullshit about optimism, or lack thereof, has no impact on whether the UK makes a success of this or not.

When we get out of the EU next month, we will be looking at forging trade deals with China, the US and India. None of these countries have a deal with the EU, if I remember correctly. We are also looking at exploring opportunities on the continent of Africa as well as other countries with markets we can exploit. The Asian Pacific trade bloc is also high on the list.

How is that Chinese trade deal looking?
