He needs to win over potential Brexit Party voters as he's deserted One Nation Conservatism. His best way to do this would be to leave on 31 October but he can't do that which is awkward. So his best bet is to stir things up and try and re-invent himself as an anti-Establishment hero.

Exactly. If they get something to scrutinise then doubtless they'll make up the hours. Just need BoJo to start negotiating in Brussels and not electioneering in the UK.

I heard a theory to explain his double speak on the matter that he could have been tipped the wink by one of the EU27 that they were planning to veto the extension if asked for.
Alternatively I suppose he could just go to Brussels and make such a nuisance of himself Farage style that they finally decide to get rid. He'd do quite a good job at that.
On the other hand it could merely be the usual Bullingdon bluff and bluster.
