Note: there *is* a way in which @michaelgove’s promise could plausibly be kept, and doesn’t involve no deal or a barebones FTA* (tariffs only).
That would be to negotiate a “temporary” (5 year?) EEA-type deal during which the UK would stay in the single market (and possibly the CU) and accept an EFTA Court type adjudication mechanism (even the EFTA Court itself).
Accepting that will protect for a while all the various cherries that the UK will be keen to keep post-Brexit and which any sane government will fear losing. And since it is essentially off the peg it is probably (with good will) doable in time.
Anything between that and no deal will be impossible to negotiate in time.
*Even a “no tariff” FTA is likely to run up against level playing field commitments (and anyway is simply inadequate for what the UK needs).
