Every part of this is ridiculous. Like I have said, ultimately there is no such thing as no deal because you can not exist without trade deals. Your country would collapse. You will be making trade deals now or later but you will be making them and you will have no more leverage later than you do now. Anyone sabotaging deals is only making things worse - the fact that an exit deal appears to exist that deals with the problem of how to handle NI is a minor miracle in itself. Things are going to get very messy if that issue is not dealt with head on.
It really feels like the UK has an air of complete self-destruction about it. From the insular thinking of the split itself (honestly, what's the end game there?) to two years of in-fighting and shrugging and incompetence. Having a hint of an exit deal to at least solve some issues is something that should be jumped at because it won't get any better than this for either the UK or the EU - it's no good for anyone to embrace the self-implosion that's going on there.
