The WA is effectively BRINO, and that is the ONLY deal that she has come up with. So the current "deal" IS BRINO.
In it there's an awful lot of this sort of thing, "unless so authorised by the Union".
Then there is the bit about the backstop:-

2(1). The provisions of this Protocol shall apply unless and until they are
superseded, in whole or in part, by a subsequent agreement.

And that involves the UK being forced to remain in a customs union. Why would the EU agree to anything, when they get so much by not agreeing to anything? Especially as the attempted coup by the Remain side hasn't finished yet. What idiot allowed the "unless and until" bit, when that is possibly the biggest factor in the WA not being agreed.
