The thing is, this is how the UK behaved whilst it was in in the EU. We had the absolutely best deal in the entire EU, all the upsides, and as few of the costs as we could bully and argue out way out of.
If the UK rejoins the EU we won’t get such a good deal, even if the rest of Europe doesn’t decide to give us a hard time for causing so much fuss.
As for what will happen on Jan 1st though, who fucking knows? It’ll be a shitshow though, and I’m not looking forward to who the tories try to blame.
