The diplomats and Foreign Office well understood the negotiating position, and probable consequences. Which is why a selection of senior figures have resigned over the last two years. Just one example: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38498839
Britain appears to have gone with the intent of negotiating by political dogma.

Yep. It's actually one of the main reasons I haven't applied to the Foreign Service. I think working as an FSO would be super neat and interesting, despite what all it entails, but I couldn't sign up to do it knowing what would likely be coming.
