Regulatory alignment is the solution to the border and the common rulebook got her into trouble with her backbenches. If we're in 'a' customs union, preferably the EEA, then fine. This deal also prevents that.
But if we're not going for the deal and want a Free trade agreement only with the EU then the border will be an issue. People keep saying it won't be but never explain why. Two markets with different regulatory regimes have customs checks, custom checks require borders/infrastructure....
