Some Brexiteers talk as if the UK is a country all others will be lining up to do trade deals with under any circumstances and, on the flip side, some others, especially on here, talk as if the UK, with the world's 6th largest economy, is essentially Afghanistan.
The point for me is that I love the EU, what it represents and the opportunities it offers to so many people, including in the UK. But that doesn't mean that, as sad as I'll be to leave, the UK won't be able to sign other trade deals or will get shafted on every one. Lots of countries sign trade deals with countries and blocs far larger than them (Australia and NZ for instance) without handing over the keys to their countries or bending over non-stop.
On top of that, from a purely economic point of view. Even if we get our trade deals with the USA, Canada, Mexico, Mercosur, ASEAN, Japan, Korea, Aus, NZ, EAEU (unlikely with all of them of course but not as impossible as people think), yada yada, I struggle to see how this will offset the negatives of more bumpy trade with the EU, especially in the short-medium term.
I'll finish with..and await the inevitable onslaught. While I personally disagree with it (and from a selfish perspective bemoan the lost opportunities my kids and their kids will have in the future), I can kind of understand some frustrations from the Brexit negotiators regarding FoM. I know the EU is based on free movement and I know the UK is in a unique position etc etc. It is of course possible though to sign a FTA without free movement (ie almost all other FTAs in the world).
