Exactly.
BoJo is just a rule-taker when it comes to Brexit. The EU offered an inferior route to Theresa May that NI must align with Eire, even if this means a GB-NI hard border. Theresa May declined as this would splinter the UK. BoJo agreed as it keeps him in power for another year and appears decisive.
