I’m not sure that UK FTAs would be hard to escape if the UK wanted to rejoin the EU. Lost market access could presumably be paid off with TRQs - a trick the EU has perfected with each enlargement. As for regulatory commitments, are these really so different from the EU’s? You mention tariffs on data flows. But the EU does not want that either. The same goes for much else, I suspect. Then again, I have not done a full comparison so maybe there is something there.

Speaking for myself, the UK left the Euro, it was all political, Whales and Ireland did not, the Brits deserve to suffer economically and as far as the Swiss go, cowards that they are, money hungry chocolate eating culture, did not fight in either World Wars just received the stolen rape and blunder of other countries ... who would want to support them in anything?
