Might be worth retweeting this once a week.

The rest is noise as they say.
More dull but essential stuff - a UK EU future relationship deal could be expected to take 5-10 years from start of talks to implementation. If this included tech solutions to Irish border they would probably take a further few years to implement.
During the period of negotiations the UK will have to decide policy on pretty much all EU regulations - are we following or diverging? Including food standards. No deal without a decision. And our starting point is irrelevant.
Therefore even if we wanted to negotiate with other countries we could only get a certain way down the line, as they also want to know what our future relationship with the EU will look like. They also need us to complete our WTO negotiations.
To be repeated until the message sinks home. New trade deals can't be the international priority post 2019 in the deal scenario. There is so much else needing doing
