It would also prevent the Government from taking the moral high ground with climate change protestors and complaining to countries about ways in which they operate.

Remember, the Brexit vote did not give a timescale. Leaving the EU could be enacted in 10 years' time and would still honour the vote.

Image would be damaged only in the eyes of Remainers.
Law & Order in the ordinary sense is about combating crime of the usual sort. Brexit is something quite different, as if you didn't know.

The rest of the world (whom you say would refuse to do trade deals with us!) are watching all this with great amusement.

Good point. If only the prediction would come true.
