Of course it's not quite as pat as that. You are right, DD did explain that it should be 'easy peasy' to get a sensible trade deal - and so it should have been because we leave the EU in a fully aligned state. But he was taken in by his own mission and did not, in his public utterances, consider how difficult the EU would be. He should have known that and should have said so at the time.

Don’t forget that IDS felt the same, and spoke passionately in the HoC about how MPs didn’t need any more time to scrutinise the WA as it had had had plenty of time to be reviewed in depth, and it should just be signed off...

(Apparently he has now discovered some "fine print" he didn’t know about before...)
