You say Boris is a chicken, but he is certainly playing chicken.
He obviously thinks he has some way to circumnavigate the Benn Bill, no doubt that is what he went to the EU with, and no new deal.

Actually, they have been making various proposals and scoping the problem, although whether the EU will accept any of it is anyone's guess.
I keep thinking to myself that if the EU wants to protect its own industries, why would it not want a deal?
The backstop is a false reason to give for not accepting the alternative arrangements we are putting forward, because if there is no deal, there is no backstop anyway!
I still say that the obvious answer is to invoke Article 24 of GATT. We could all get on with leaving and talking about the trade deal we want then.
