he can dump the DUP now
He's going to lose all his seats in Scotland (about 15?), and ten DUPs. They must be very confident about picking up Labour seats in bulk after all this.

Shouldn't be too hard when you're up against one of the most unpopular opposition leaders ever.
What's going to be really interesting is how the Indies and Defectors do in their current seats.

Well, since he has no majority perhaps a cross party effort will sideline the DUP, finally?
The DUP will lose some seats, 3 are at risk I'd say they lose at least 1
Scotland yep he can lose another 10So they need another 11 to make up for that and then even more to get a majority. I don't see it either no, but they are targeting some areas in the North with throwing cash/magic money trees already.

BoBo "cautiously optimistic" EU still thinks new plans lack detail (which of course they do, if you can't do it in 3 years...)
Keeping NI in the agricultural EU standards is also part of the backstop, is this going towards a NI only backstop with GB excluded as he can dump the DUP now?
In that case enjoy the huge lorry queues at Dover, but hey-ho...who needs experts to make predictions.
