Boris knows that by giving the DUP a perpetual power of veto (on a four yearly basis) the ROI will never sign up to his ‘deal’.
He’s just playing the blame game until we arrive at the October 31st deadline. His pre planned soft tone in the commons today, and during his conference speech is also part of the plan. This new reasonable sounding tone and ebullient front was discussed as a tactic in cabinet, and leaked this morning.
An arrogant nakedly ambitious Prime Minister last week, now seeks to morph into an earnestly caring supplicant to those around him.
Beware the transformation when Dominic Cummings tells him it’s time to go rogue again!
