If this had been done by the EU with any other country, this would strengthen your proposal, as they couldn’t say "it’s not been done before".

It's not my take that UK is going for a bespoke deal of any sort. We are doing the sensible thing. Tariffs/quotas like Canada has done.
Other matters, pertaining to sovereignty and cooperation are desired by the UK to be held separate; highly logical.
The EU, on the other hand, doesn't want to treat the trade negotiations on a Canada basis unless that falls within their wider agenda of binding us into their rules & laws. Is that what you want?
