I have no doubt that in the long run, deals we do with other sovereign states and trading blocs will vary, offering greater benefits in some areas and compromises in others. This will demonstrate the flexibility we now have to negotiate deals that best fit our economy, although I have no doubt that remainers will gleefully pounce upon any compromise as evidence of our reduced negotiating heft.
I'm not sure we can read much into one potential trade deal whose precise details have yet to surface, but it won't stop anyone doing precisely this.
