It's a bit more complicated than you've put out.

During the Leave campaign, nobody foresaw May as PM and the wreck she'd make of Brexit, which tied our hands on NI.

Had we withdrawn from the NI Protocol during the negotiations, Brexit would have taken place as we'd have simply dropped out of the poxy EU.
