Guy Verhofstadt, the EU Parliament's chief negotiator has said that Mrs May's suggestion that there will be a trade deal by 2019 is "impossible" (HERE). I believe this will be the official position as soon as Article 50 has been invoked.
Of course, this has always been the John Redwood position. We trade now tariff free and after we leave, we just carry on as before. This is a pipe dream.
Mr Verhofstadt also said we would be fast tracked back in if we change our mind and this is very helpful.
