Johnson would sell his grandma to get a deal.....
Because:
Could it be Boris Johnson’s apparent desperation for a deal may have something to do with election polling?
According to The Telegraph, the Tories have seen a ComRes study showing Johnson cannot get a majority unless Brexit happens by 31 October.
Leaving with a deal by the end of this month would give him a whopping majority of 118 after an election, the pollster predicts.
Leaving after 31 October – with or without a deal – would leave him more than a dozen MPs short of a majority.
It seems the British people may actually have taken all his “get Brexit done” and “do or die” rhetoric seriously.
The flipside for opposition leaders is that they have a strong incentive to make sure Brexit happens after 31 October
