Perhaps deliberately so. I would make sense. He knows that the PM responsible of a no deal Brexit and its implementation is very likely to be grilled forever. In case of no confidence vote he would be able to come back some time later, after blaming others for a failed Brexit or a remain decision.

Should have got out two years ago with zero fuss, but we put a woman in charge - there's a lesson for everyone. Look, if it doesn't work out, there will be another referendum a few years down the line. That's how elections work.

Popular Post Sticky Wicket Posted August 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2019 The Remainers entered this Parliament under the rather childish delusion that they were going to use Parliamentary procedures to stop everyone else, and nobody was going to use Parliamentary procedures to stop them. At Westminster they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind. 5 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
