The likeliest scenario is that the EU will agree some minor revision to the WA. Boris will bring the revised deal back to parliament spinning it as a great achievement. He will present a "His Deal/No Deal" option. Many of the ERG will rebel. DUP will support. What will Labour do. If they support their Remain voters will go ballistic and many will defect to the LibDems. If they refuse Boris will go for No Deal and Corbyn will get the blame.
What Labour has needed for the last two years was a brilliant, ruthless, calculating SOB as leader but instead they are stuck with a simpering ideologue. Sad days for me.
