It's much easier to fudge the Customs Union like May's deal offers in the EEA.
May's deal is very fanciful, its all based on the UK negotiating wonderful trade deals very quickly which is likely to be far more damaging to the UK than just staying in the EEA.
Yes , the political declaration is meaningless and the wonderful trade deals are flights of fancy but that's not a deal.
The withdrawal agreement is the "deal" and it is vital that the UK stay in the single market and the Customs Union, there's no fudge and the UK have to realise this is so important. I think May has finally realised it but somehow thinks the UK can later get out of it or she's lying to the people or both.
