Lets cut to the chase here.
May is in a mess because her party wants a race to the bottom, tax-dodger's Brexit that is precluded by the needs of the Good Friday agreement. The EU are insisting on the backstop in order to protect Ireland and themselves from a nation on their doorstep indulging in predatory deregulation - and they are wise to do so. they are not going to deviate from that now, and why would they when may is even weaker than before ? Concessions are for when another position has got stronger not the other way around.
The EU just want us gone now. They are in a great position now to pick and choose what they need in any trade deals (barnier has waited long enough to let banking and services bleed out) and have just signed a mega trade deal with japan.
The English have gone stark,raving bonkers.
