I think the EU and the UK could survive without any agreement, but let's be honest, they aren't going to make it hard for us and we aren't going to make it hard for them considering the amount we trade with each other. There would definitely be some consequences for everyone if there wasn't an agreement but saying that the UK would not survive is ridiculous.
Now, my views on this issue aren't as strong as they were before but that is just fact. Our negotiators and their EU counterparts are just flexing their muscles, so to speak. In the end there will be some sort of agreement and things will just go on as they did before. Brexit will change very little but let's just wait and see how the negotiations go first.
Put it this way: I would be very surprised if Theresa May just walked away without any deal at all.

So far 27 countries (some EU, but most not) have expressed interest in a trade agreement after Brexit:
Closer economic ties with the US, Canada and Australia will be especially beneficial.
