Because they already had a great deal then unceremoniously fucked up a lot of things by opening a can of worms that no one needed opening. There are knock on issues with those other deals, some countries house tax evaders and others make access for undesirables very easy. The UK has shown that they will fuck over anyone if it suits them so why give them a deal. They likely would not even meet the criteria for ascension now regardless given their move toward deregulation and apparent rise in corruption.
There is a lot of work for the new government to gain back trust.
Oooohhh “a deal”. I read that as a negotiated settlement not as letting them of the hook with some kind of sweetheart deal.
No the UK has shat the bed themselves, now they lie in it. If they want to be part of the single market or rejoin, then through the processes that exist for that.
