• You need to bear in mind that someone like Raab is not in the same frame of reference as we are- he won’t think that it will destroy the party, he thinks it will be a success. He is, by some measures, insane.

  • He could however think that even a 10% risk of total fucking disaster is not worth taking firmly on the chin (because it would be him alone who takes it, if they arrange something devious to facilitate no-deal) - if it means effigies of him and his immediates will be burned on bonfires for decades to come.

    If however parliament sleep walks in to tacitly agreeing to no-deal, then yah, they'll take it, because they won't take the rap for disaster alone.

  • Someone like JRM could do it and then piss off to a thinktank or the House of Lords. A lot of them are old and rich...
