I don't pretend to know all the ins and outs of the legalities of the Brexit position, but as far as I'm aware, Boris doesn't need to put forward a No Deal Brexit as the UK position. It will happen automatically unless Westminster comes up with a deal that is acceptable to the EU. It's not enough to be against something, you've got to be for another solution.
I have no time for all these Remainers in the House Of Commons who are now pulling out all the stops to try to prevent a No Deal. They had a chance to vote for Mrs May's Deal which would have stopped a No Deal, but they kept on rejecting it, so to me, they are hypocrites for complaining now. Mrs May's Deal was an abject surrender to the EU because they boxed her into a corner and I hated her version of Brexit, but it was on the table and agreed by the EU. Could it be resurrected now as a last minute compromise? Personally I doubt it, given the idiots on both sides attacking each other from behind their barricades.
In my opinion, Boris is one of those people whose unique combination of arrogance and ignorance leads them to enjoy the notoriety of being deliberately controversial. I'm sure he didn't decide to prorogue Parliament because it was a good idea, but because he could do it in order to anger all of his opponents.
Jeremy Corbyn's passion for sitting on the fence for the last year, saying nothing at all in a thousand words, will surely go against him in the next couple of months, perhaps longer if there is going to be a General Election. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he has been outmanouvered by Boris and is now desperately trying to regain lost ground.
