This assertion is regularly made and should be challenged continually as being part of the same Brexiteer unwillingness to accept that any deal with the EU (or US or anyone) requires compromise. The longer this goes in the bigger the hole we dig ourselves into
Meanwhile at trade doubling down on the US trade deal that will be hugely controversial and may pass neither Congress or Parliament, free ports of no clear benefit, and a free trade policy based on erecting trade barriers to our nearest trade partner
The world mostly thinks a no deal Brexit is a sign of the UK retreating from free trade
I get that a US trade deal is a Brexiteer trophy, but it also stands to expose the division between free trade Brexiteers and sovereignty Brexiteers. May not play well to maximising a leave vote for Conservatives in an election.
