By "into play" I meant into negotiations. For a 2-3 year negotiation it'd almost certainly be a customs union type arrangement.

That said the Conservatives would probably concede state aid anyway, the state will be rolled back so far there will be no 'aid' available.

Anyway, the EU says the backstop stays. Which makes sense - there's nothing more important in Europe, on the mainland or the islands, than the integrity of the Single Market.
