The PM has already made clear there is agent out clause. We can give notice of termination if we cannot make it work. By that time, the public will probably agree.
He didn’t have to accept it at all, he clearly stated that no deal was better than a bad deal. He put that forward as part of his election manifesto and the tories were returned based on that.

I guess morality and trustworthiness doesn’t come into it in your mind.
I hardly think you’re in a position to level criticisms regarding morality & trustworthiness as you would have the U.K. breach our legally binding obligations.
