The primary block is the EUs insistence on fishing rights. They've said no trade deal without fishing rights. So "state aid" is a bit of a red herring.
Seeing as even in normal times the UK level of state aid is a few times below that of Germany, and then you have to add all the EU contributions to countries(eg 9 billion/year to Poland), the UK isn't exactly heavy on state aid.
