I think there’s no doubt this is about threatening the ERG. They’re holding out for No Deal but as they do so they risk No Brexit. There’s little chance of a second referendum being called by Parliament this month, but in two or three months, if negotiations are still at an impasse? Who knows what might happen then?
I think we’re about to get a legally binding addendum to the withdrawal agreement (so that the agreement itself has not been re-opened, as per EU insistence) which will be put to Parliament as Meaningful Vote #2. And all hell will be let loose on the Tory back benches as No.10 tries to get it voted through.
