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.
Old Boy, wake up and smell the coffee! We're in the middle of a huge recession. The economy isn't growing.
Also, why resort to the straw man if you believe in your arguments? I've not said WTO terms will be a disaster but they will be very damaging. It's a Leaver Professor, Patrick Minford, who has said Brexit will lead to the end of UK manufacturing.
The trade deals you refer to replicate a couple that we already enjoy at the moment. Losing deals with the US, Canada and the EU will not advance our economy.
