Interesting conclusion from the FT. The paper correctly predicted the government would concede to the EU on a large number of points so this article carries some authority.

The UK continues to claim there is a technological or managerial solution that will keep the border open without customs union membership. But it has convinced almost no informed observers — including the companies that would have to make such a system work — that a suitable answer exists. At some point, Mrs May will be forced to recognise that there is no viable alternative to a new customs union agreement. She will have to confront her own party.

Here's the link from the House of Commons that shows a technological or managerial solution is a non-starter, Q 305 onwards.
