Don't give us that old chestnut about 'no deal' being a disaster. Most trade around the world is on WTO terms. There are other places other than the EU where we can forge deals more suited to our requirements than was possible in the EU. Some are already virtually there, ready to be implemented in 2021.
Exactly.

And Covid has put the EU and the UK into the GDP doldrums and there is no sign that having a trade deal with the EU right now would lead to any better a long term outcome since everything is stagnant. So we rebuild in competition with the EU, which we always were anyway.
