I think they'll offer better wording around the backstop. Something May sorta secured but no one believed. Legally the position will remain the same but packaged in such a way MPs can claim down and vote for a version of May's deal.

If it’s Boris, he’ll have to keep his word on the 39 billion. Sod them, they will always try to disadvantage us so we need to be smart. And we are provided the politicians sort themselves out.
