The EU have stated that the WA is final
Based on the red lines that May has stated up front. If those aren't going to change then nor will the EU.
I'd guess the EU would be willing to renegotiate and open up more if the UK wanted to keep freedom of movement for example. May isn't going to do this so the EU have shut up shop.

The quote's fine, I agree with that - it's all the rest.
The EU have stated that the WA is final, even if they were lying when they said that, a Barry Gardiner customs union is impossible, as is a Corbyn single market - which is painfully obvious to anyone who has been following the process. So - why would they re-open negotiations that they have stated are closed, to negotiate the impossible?
It's lunacy.
The choices are, no matter the government, May's WA, no-deal, or remain/referendum.
With, possibly, an A50 extension to allow Corbyn's new government to ratify May's WA, but that would have to be the deal - extension for ratification.
