The point is, there is no capitulation on leaving the EU, no capitulation on the common market, and no capitulation on the customs union. These points were made abundantly clear by Theresa May last Wednesday in the House of Commons.
Where exactly are you going with this? Remember that your posts now will be available for all to see in just over a year's time.
And by the way, we are now into phase 2 of the talks! Did you foresee that?

I think the Ireland settlement was bad news for Brextremists and Jeremy Corbyn whose chances of coming to power soon took a knock. But good news for many other people who didn't want the possibility of a hard Brexit. This text suggests to me that not only is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas, it's also beginning to look a lot like a soft Brexit:

In the absence of agreed solutions, the United Kingdom will maintain full alignment with those rules of the Internal Market and the Customs Union which, now or in the future, support North-South cooperation, the all-island economy and the protection of the 1998 Agreement.”

I agree with Michael Gove that if the country does want a hard Brexit with the economic setbacks and border issues that entails, then people should vote accordingly in the next election.
I appreciate your optimism but you also need to stop believing and quoting everything politicians say and look at what was actually agreed.
