The final two paragraphs are key, although HMG (and especially former Telegraph employee Boris) is meant to take note of the whole thing. This piece is a gun to his head, threatening withdrawal of support if he goes soft on Brexit (as defined by the Telegraph). It’s clear the paper’s editorial line is that if Britain doesn’t get what it wants, then Britain should walk. On pain of the Telegraph making life utterly miserable for Boris. Given that the Telegraph undoubtedly knows where at least some of the bodies are buried, it’s a threat Boris might just take seriously.
