May's 'deal' 
This deal neuters any leverage the UK has- 40bn will be handed over or a threat of economic meltdown from no deal. All the while the border backstop will keep the UK in a CU and level playing field meaning we can't threaten a race to the bottom.
Scotland could easily be 'offered' fast tracking back in to the EU if independent, were the UK to think of diverging later (the EU could advance that idea in Scotland in time as they have to worry less about london) .
AND any future trade deal we will going into it in zombie transition land with no hope of leaving given the EU won't sign off on a future trade deal that could in anyway give the UK access benefits whilst free to get better trade deals elsewhere.
I'm not sure whether farage was shitting himself about that deal or mueller breathing down his neck, either way its fantastic.
