He’ll try and negotiate a new deal, fail and head for No Deal instead. Labour will call for a vote of no confidence and enough Tories will join them to bring down his government. It’ll be too late to have a general election so Parliament will vote to revoke to avoid a no deal Brexit.

The problem with this bit is if a hard Brexit PM forces parliament to go into recess or whatever preventing MPs from stopping No Deal. No confidence vote is risky.

I'd be surprised if anyone - even the super hard brexiters - would do this. The risk of a disaster and subsequent destruction of their party is not worth the reward of...what? Pleasing the 60k conservative members? They aren't going to be too happy when the medium term effect is complete destruction of their party.
