EU: We can take away the backstop if you commit in treaty to staying in the single market and customs union.
UK: That breaches our red lines.
EU: You're asking us to breach our red lines but you're not prepared to move yours.
UK: But we can't get a deal on that basis...

EU: By the way, you still have to make choices about how you Brexit. We haven't forgotten that you tried to claim in Chequers you could have everything. Tell your Parliament to make some choices rather than changing our red lines.
