I'm still struggling to work out what the Tories think they'll gain by this. Do they really think the EU27 will suddenly change their negotiating position because there's a different face across the table? Or that a new leader will magically be able to produce cake and unicorns at will?

I read an interesting series of tweets about other similar situations where things had gone truly wrong, but the participants would not recognise that and carried on as if things were normal/were amenable to standard behaviours- the situations mentioned were Chernobyl and Challenger, cheerfully.

I think it's more like the Air France crash near Brazil - the participants know something's wrong, but a minority are continuing to do the thing that started the problem in the first place.
