The UK doesn't need to negotiate trade deals with every nation on Earth. We can choose which we prioritise and the terms we agree with them. The smaller, less important ones we can still trade with under the basic WTO rules if other arrangements prove impossible to make. Trade is a two way thing and a some people are forgetting that lots of countries will be very keen to trade with the UK and won't have anything to gain by making the process of doing so more complicated than it has to be. Quite the reverse in fact.
