Mrs May: "The message is government has agreed that we will have an independent trade policy...We will be free to negotiate those trade deals around the rest of the world."

She said she could not agree to any EU move to create a trade border between Britain and Northern Ireland, stating: "That's not right. That's not acceptable."
Put those two statements together and she is saying that the EU will have to accept a hard border on the island of Ireland.
That is unacceptable.
And if she says that of course she doesn't want a hard border on the island of Ireland, but sticks to her two statements cited above, then that is also unacceptable since it is dishonest.
(Unless she meant that the UK would be free to negotiate services-only trade deals around the world...)
At this late stage in the process, it is time for HMG to grow up and start making the choices that the situation requires.
