I hope Boris Johnson gets some, even cosmetic, details on the backstop that gets the deal though.

The problem is though, that the backstop (IIRC) isn’t what Labour objected to in the deal.
Even if Boris navigates around the Backstop his problem is that Labour, if they revert to type, will just block anything that is put before them.
The only way Brexit happens is with a Government with a majority and a membership fully behind them. The only way of getting that is a GE. No guarantees though.
The funny thing is though the 2017 election, May tried to make about Brexit, but Labour made it about other issues and stole the initiative.
However, this election - if it happens will be squarely about Brexit.
