Article 50 (2) which you refer to

It includes the statement that negotiations will be conducted in accordance with Article 218.

The EU have conducted negotiations strictly in accoradance with this.
We have the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration.
Both were signed off by Boris.
The political declaration simply says that the EU will enter Trade Negotiations.
It does not say they will give us what we want.
It says a lot more.
The Political Declaration accompanies the Withdrawal Agreement, and sets out the framework for the future relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom.
It establishes the parameters of an ambitious, broad, deep and flexible partnership across trade and economic cooperation with a comprehensive and balanced Free Trade Agreement at its core,
law enforcement and criminal justice, foreign policy, security and defence and wider areas of cooperation.
The Declaration also states that safeguards on a
level playing field should ensure a future relationship based on open and fair competition.
The precise nature of commitments will be commensurate with the ambition of the future relationship and take into account the economic connectedness and geographic proximity of the United Kingdom. This necessitates safeguards to ensure a level playing field that upholds the common high standards applicable at the end of the transition period in the areas of state aid, competition, social and employment standards, environment, climate change and relevant tax matters, in order to
avoid unfair competitive advantages to either the EU or the United Kingdom.
