We can do a lean deal on airlines with the EU, for example, but our flight rights to other countries are tied up in other EU agreements with those countries.Comment

“Roll over” means an existing agreement. These aren’t existing agreements with the U.K., these are EU agreements with other third countries.
We could “copy and paste” as SB suggests, but that also highlights the English Exceptionalism - there are two sides to each agreement. They still need to be ratified with each third country. On a simple thing like WTO schedules that we’ve copied and pasted we already have numerous objections.
All of a sudden your “lean” agreements aren’t looking so lean.Comment

Britain is going to be in a pretty weak position.”Comment
