The EU pointed out our options from the start, but the tories have deliberately run down the clock to present this shambles of a deal as a fait accompli.
EEA/EFTA is obviously much better than may's deal, it solves almost all of the Irish Border issue, and most importantly, and it respects the brexit vote so it would be an easy sell if the UK press would just tell the xxxx truth for once. EFTA nations are touring the globe right now signing new independent trade deals with Israel, Indonesia, Brazil etc etc and there's nothing the EU can do about it.
It basically would reset us to the common market set up of the 70s, far from perfect but way better than what may's ludicrous red lines have delivered.
