We were tied into the transitional terms until we agreed new terms.
Which is exactly the same as if we leave in October, other than there are no transitional terms to protect our trade with the EU in the meantime.
We still have to have exactly the same negotiation with the EU, but without the political declaration (which is a basic outline of the hoped for deal).
Which puts us in the significantly worse negotiating position.
Because we are entirely dependent on the goodwill of the other side, which is colossally stupid.
