Probably the 31st of December, actually. Don't forget that while the 31st of January makes Brexit as such irreversible (afaik), that's just when the 'transition period' starts during which basically everything is the same, including your FoM. (Prepare for a lot of brexiters going "ha ha, why has the sky not fallen yet?") And then we still have a chance to have Boris fuck everything up royally, because the actual negotiations about the UK's "future relationship with the EU" are only just starting.

Won't June / July be the next row date, since that's the last time at which Johnson can request an extension?

That is possible - I certainly expect there to be a decent amount of rowing all through the year. I wonder what his position on an extension is. Officially, I'm sure he can't be enthusiastic. But then, he will have 'delivered Brexit' already, and he would benefit from getting more time if the EU can be moved to agree with that.

The EU will, they aren't interested in a mess on their doorstep.

But will the government? He ran on a "get Brexit done" platform, but then wouldn't be the first time he's telling lies. Besides, in the minds of many simpletons the 31st it is "all done".
