When no-deal looks as appeling as the deals being offered, this was an eventuality. I think many knew this going in. I doubt, however, that this is purely due to foot-dragging by the current government, and more to do with some hard-won lack of trust on both sides of the negotiating table. Both the UK and the EU made some unfortunte moves, shady deals, and asinine assertions, in the brexit adventure that will likely poison the well for years to come. Until a compelling (military or financial) reason comes along, I expect the situation to mostly remain the same.
