UK prime minister offers new Brexit deal to the EU

The UK has suggested that Northern Ireland comes out of the EU's customs union, alongside the UK, but also that Northern Ireland stays in the single market (with some exceptions), while the UK leaves it. This means not one but two borders, one on the island of Ireland, and another in the Irish sea. Will this be acceptable to Ireland, the EU and indeed, the UK Parliament?
