@Peter Gaskin
It never came to an agreement, because the USA were demanding, that the EU27 accept imports of chlorinated chicken, gen manipulated crops, hormon boosted beef (all without the duty of declaring those issues) and that US companies can claim each EU member state for a "loss of profit", in case EU laws/ regulations might/are changing, so a US company "might had to change its product, or can't/ couldn't export it to the EU27 anymore (even though this "product" would not exist yet, when EU changed anything, it would have been a "free ticket" for US companies permanently claiming), therefor the US companies could claim for compensation any time.
The EU27 negotiators simply didn't accept any of those demands.
So if the UK/GB is hoping for an trade deal with the USA, it will have to accept all of these demands, or there won't be a deal, simple as that.

Oh dear....😂
The UK is NATO member, same as most EU and EFTA member states...
Joining "the EUs SM/EEA" is for EU and EFTA member states ONLY, not though for 3rd countries, according to article 126 of the EEA Agreement = SPECIFIES that membership is open to member states either of the EU and or EFTA member states ONLY.
EEA = EUs SM
NOT negotiatable !!
The UK has the TCA...
Some weeks ago the EUs Commission stated/analogous "that the EU is very happy with the TCA, that it's very balanced for BOTH sides, and that the Commission is taking care of further implementation of the TCA at the REVIEW coming up".
Right now the EUs Commission started an infringement procedure against the UK, as it still hasn't implemented properly any of the deals, it signed with the EU27.
Starmer got informed about that subject, when visiting the EU27.
Norway and Iceland/EFTA, are stating since years, that they'll veto the UK joining EFTA, because they don't want a "trouble maker in their club".
Only option available for the UK is applying for full EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST..
The UK doesn't even fulfill the needed criteria for APPLYING for EU membership at the moment..
Estimated time needed for joining the EU are minimum 15+ years AFTER fullfilling the Copenhagen Criteria..

@binkyboobosh1 Problem only is, there is no "re-joining the SM", because:
only two options are available, either EFTA or full EU membership.
Norway (EFTA) is stating since years, that it'll veto the UK/GB joining the EFTA, as they don't want a "trouble maker in their club".
Access to the SM always and only comes with the four freedoms (free movement of goods, people, services, capital, within the EU), accepting the European High Court and paying the membership fee = full EU membership.
Just "joining" the SM never ever existed, as it was just the "fairy tale dream/ cherry picking" of the Brexiteers, either because of not understanding, how the EU works, or because they thought, the UK/GB is too special, or both.
And to join the EU as full member again, the UK/GB has to apply as every other country, which wants to become an EU member, by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria, still every of the EU27 member states can veto the UK/GB joining the EU, and after that the UK/GB might get the status as an "candidate for EU membership", then the negotiations with the EU27 might start, all of that could take decades.
No "fast track", no exceptions for any country in the world, as stated recently by the EU Commission, not even for the Ukraine being at war.

@ChristopherFynn001 The problem/ misunderstanding most Brits have until now is, the thought of "just being in the SM = soft Brexit", would "sort it", eventhough "this version" never existed.
Either full EU membership or EFTA, those are the available options. The "Swiss modell" isn't available anymore, as stated by EU Commission, because off to "much hustle".
The EFTA (Norwegian modell) isn't available either, as Norway has stated since 2016 until today, that it'll veto the UK/GB joining the EFTA because they don't want a "trouble maker in their club".
While the Brexit negotiations went on, the British negotiators were demanding continiusly and exactly that: full access to the SM without the duties coming with it (four freedoms - free movement of goods, people, services, capital), the payment of the "member fee" plus accepting the European High Court. Not understanding, that the SM is the core/ heart of the EU and therefor highly protected. Btw, the EU27 offered up to the end of the transition period/Brexit negotiations, that if wanted, the UK/GB could stop the Brexit, which the UK/GBs Gvt permanently refused.
"Reversing/re-joining isn't an option either, as there isn't a "fast track" for any country in the world, not even for the Ukraine being at war. Therefor the UK/GB has to follow the procedures for joining the EU: receive an EU "application form including a very long list of issues which have to be fulfilled/Copenhagen Criteria" by then hopefully non of any of the other EU27 member states have vetoed the UK/GB to join the EU, and only then you might get the status as a "candidate for EU membership", and then the real negotiations with the EU would start, which could take decades.
Btw, there is severe education needed about the EU, how it works and what it's for, should start already at school.
If you're interested, read about Robert Schuman, the "father of Europe" and his idea of an European Union, which started in the 1920s.
