It’s strikes me as piss poor political tactics, and I hope it fails....
Much as I want BJ gone, if he’s forced out next week by a VONC, it will only strengthen him in a forthcoming GE....
He’ll be able to appeal both to those who want a deal (he’d claim “if only they’d have let me go to Brussels I’d have got they real and we’d have left!”).. and those with no-deal. He won’t have to own any of the crap he’s been peddling the past few months.
He needs to be able to hang himself from his own petard and either have to eat his various words about getting a deal before 31st October, or show he’s prepared to stoop to new depths to circumvent the law to prevent him from signing an extension.... If a VONC and a GNU is required, it needs to be done once he’s come back from Brussels without an agreement to a deal or extension.
