Lot of ppl saying Boris Johnson “wants No-Deal”. I don’t agree: he wants a deal. But 2 problems:
1/ he wants a unicorn deal that’s not on offer- more benefits/fewer obligations than May’s deal
2/ his cunning plan for getting this fantasy deal is to *pretend* he’s ok with No-Deal

In other words, a key difference between Johnson’s approach to the Brexit negotiations and May’s is... that Johnson thought he would make dazzling progress just by bluffing harder and more convincingly
Another difference between Johnson’s approach and May’s is that she would never have taken us to No-Deal just to avoid admitting that “No-Deal is better than a bad deal” was a bluff. Johnson would rather go to No-Deal (if Parliament would let him) than be shown to be a bluffer
In other words, May for all her serious and numerous faults at least had some sense of responsibility. Johnson (as those who have followed his career have been able to observe) has none whatsoever
A man utterly unfit to hold high public office
