Nope, EU need to work iaw with the WA and the TA, nothing more, nothing less. And if the UK does not comply then the EU should turn up the heat as the WA and TA both allow for.
The Johnson administration of Cons and the DUP in NI and the folk on the ground with spray cans are some of the many layers of plausible deniability that allow dog-whistling to the rabid Brexiteers simultaneously with victim-positioning. Just like the co-operative behaviour of the shorts this is a well understood play that they all know their roles in, and go and do it with out any need for overt coordination. Don't be naive, and don't be fooled by it. The EU certainly aren't - and there is no reason they should be.
There is no reason for the EU to throw this (UK) dog a bone. The role of the EU is to be a very stern nanny and wait patiently for the UK to implode, whilst offering a pathway for Scotland and NI to Rejoin. Then England can follow. Meanwhile anyone that has any interest in accelerating Rejoin in the UK should be holding the Johnson Cons in particular, and Brexiters in general, to account for the consequences of their actions. Not running around as excuseniks.
