Think picture is more nuanced than this. The backstop is a de facto CU. A "rudimentary, CU 1.0" in the words of one senior EU official, but a CU nonetheless. If UK is no longer seeking frictionless trade with EU & rejecting tenets of 2017 JR (per my tweets yest & day before)
Then it follows that UK is seeking lighter LPF commitments than those required for a CU - even though Olly widely credited for negotiating robust market access for minimum LPF conditions & EU is v clear that LPF conditions will be tougher for UK than Canada in a Canada-style FTA
So think @10DowningStreet is willing to sign up to LPF conditions - question is which ones, how dynamic etc. Not a blanket rejection, but rather desire to revise LPF discussion in light of access UK is now seeking. That's my read light of discussions I've had with both sides END
