Parliament is looking at alternative deals AFTER we were scheduled to leave.
The EU-Norway model is one of them. So @OFOCBrexit is doing Parliament's work for it.

So what does that tell us?
▪️Norway follows EU rules in many areas but doesn't have any voting power, whereas the UK has 3x the average EU voting power.
▪️Food would be more expensive.
▪️Even if we got cheaper food, which would need specific trade deals, UK farmers would suffer.

For example: Listen to Damien McGenity, a farmer on the border in Northern Ireland. He is NOT looking forward to ANY Brexit.

As for Fish, Norway is a major fishing country but faces tariffs when selling its fish to the EU (which is it's largest market), whereas UK fisherman now are at an advantage.
So we either go down to their level, or we leave with No Deal and they out-compete us.

So when Nigel praised the Norway Model in 2016 saying they're "rich, free, catching their own fish", he didn't mention the price of food, following EU rules without a say, or that they face tariffs selling their fish to their biggest market.
Or that No Deal would ruin UK Fishing.
