We need to accept that we are not going to get the withdrawal agreement through parliament. So what the new PM needs to do is to acknowledge that, and the concerns expressed about a 'no deal', and propose instead that we agree with the EU a set of objectives to be resolved for a trade agreement. As my Brexit link stated, this does not have to be a detailed document and could be agreed relatively quickly. Any tricky areas could be expressed in terms of matters to be resolved.
Parliament could then be reassured that we would have 10 years to agree a trade deal from outside of the EU, and if Canada could do it in 7 years, that should be a doddle, given we already meet EU standards on the goods we export to them.

It's not objections, it's statement of fact. get those two things achieved and the country can quite rightly leave on those terms.
