Untrue.
The block, now, is the continual drip, drip of obstructions to the meaningful vote, and now to passage of the WAB.
“Take no deal off the table” is a strategy to ensure the WAB never passes through the Commons (certainly not in a form compatible with the agreement negotiated with the EU), resulting in serial applications for deadline extensions with the eventual aim of creating an irresistible, major shift in public opinion towards a second referendum or outright revocation.
The continuing remain strategy ever since 2016 has been to make Brexit look too arduous to see through, and then to reverse the referendum result. “Take no deal off the table” is a tactic in pursuit of that overall strategy. Nothing more.
