From BBC's Nick Robinson:

Not long ago @jeremycorbyn faced a crisis trapped between Remainers & Leavers and was shunned by other opposition parties. Now he’s able to stand up for democracy, work with a cross-party alliance & appear statesmanlike. Is that what people mean by No 10’s new strategic genius?

Johnson is making Corbyn look good! Says it all really .. The new Tory Momentum-esque playbook they have stolen from Labour is not working out too well from them so far. At this rate, they will be rebranding themselves as New UKIP
I applaud the 21 Tory MP's who put Country before Party. I thought the age of principles in politics had passed. They went through the due diligence and asked Johnson face-to-face if he had anything to offer as a deal and if he had made any progress in the backstop alternative and they concluded, correctly as Cummins himself confirmed, the whole negotiation line is a sham.
What this does imply is that unless Johnson does the No Deal election pact with the devil (Farage), the Tories will be very vulnerable in seats where Tory voters are more moderately aligned. If you then throw in possible opposition party collaboration then a Tory majority is not assured.
