I forgot to ask this earlier. Boris always said he was prepared to walk away. The question therefore begs, why didn't he? If 'silly terms' were the terms offered.

In my mind there's a couple of possibilities

1. The UK government didn't understand the terms offered.
2. The UK government whilst publicly proclaiming that they were prepared to walk away, believed that a no deal scenario was significantly worse.
