Oh, and he also claims he can use his powers of persuasion to get Parliament to sign off on a no deal Brexit if it comes to that. Not just ram it through as the default, but actually get official Parliamentary buy-in for crashing the UK out of the EU without a deal.
Surely even the most fanatical Boris Johnson boosters must now see that his "Brexit plans" are fever dream fantasies?
MPs aren't stupid (immoral, lazy, disinterested, overconfident etc., sure, but not out and out stupid) so they must see through him. If they still support him...
