A deal which will if anything should allow our companies and our exporters to do even more business with our European friends.”

A good start to rejoining as this would also pander to the obsession with blocking FOM. But, UK would insist on a clause to allow it trade deals with countries outside the bloc - unacceptable to the EU & I don’t see anyone capable of negotiating on the UK side.
