There are an awful lot of people in the EU fed up to the back teeth with this Brexit farce, they want us out, but they want to screw us for as much as possible, which has been their intention all along. I doubt anyone in the EU expects us to revoke A50, not with Boris and Nigel running at nearly 50% in the polls and an election coming up. Macron to name just one wants us out asap, Juncker said no more extensions yesterday, and they get £39 billion up front should this deal get through. And besides, this is not really Boris's deal, it's not even May's deal, it's the EU's deal, they wrote the vast majority of it, parts of it had to be translated from the German. They'll let us stew for a bit, while they think the traitors on this side can still win, but they're happy with this deal, it gives them everything they want.
