he [Johnson] intends to continue to ratchet things up like this then he's going to have to figure out how to put on enough votes to replace those he loses to the LDs and the SNP...
Well ... Cummings will make the calculation. Labour are also vulnerable to lose votes to the LDs, SNP the comparatively the Brexit Party too. In a GE dispassionate swing voters are key and it's often the clearest (simplistic?) campaign that cuts through.
Boris is so far right now only the DUP and BP are possible coalition partners?

politically, it does not make a whole lot of sense for BJ to martyr himself in pursuit of an illegal no deal brexit. it may motivate the leavey-brexity part of his coalition, but it will undoubtedly alienate the LD-remainy part of the conservatives' electoral coalition... who will think he has gone off the deep end, if they don't already.
in fact, if he intends to continue to ratchet things up like this then he's going to have to figure out how to put on enough votes to replace those he loses to the LDs and the SNP...
