If you make a deal with the Devil to gain power, then he ends up on top. Johnson made such a deal when he jumped into bed with Brexit.

He is now stuck between the evangelical leavers of the European Reform Group and the EU which needs to protect its Single Market.

The weak-minded in his party may have honestly believed that the UK holds all the cards. Johnson knows we don't. He also knows we have little to offer the EU apart from concessions, but also knows that no-deal would be hugely damaging to the economy and the Conservative Party.

It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall in Brussels.
