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.

How many in your career of IT project management have you overseen?
It’s not, your right. However, if I took in - I dunno- 50,000 friends and committed to buying 50,000 UHD tv’s, IPads, and PS4’ demanded 40% discount, and said if we don’t get it I’ll go to another retailer............I reckon i’d Get a dialogue going.

IT Project Management was part of my career - I have been an IT Director, IT Programme Manager, Head of Programme Management , Head of Portfolio Management, and Head of Technology for a multi-billion pound company, and have been an active part of the negotiations for programmes that were 10s of millions of pounds; these had teams involved in the negotiations of dozens of people, supported by Subject Matter Experts and teams.
The complexity involved in negotiating deals for thousands of different tracks that Brexit involves would be vastly more than any I was involved in, and I recognise this - you think it could be done by 1 person.
How many negotiations involving 10s of millions have you been involved?
Re your iPad example - Apple don’t discount on new iPads; they don’t need to (speaking as someone who bought 3000 in one go for a University, using our Procurement professionals); they can sell as many as they want at full price, they don’t need to discount.
