So that left Boris with three choices and he went for No. 2:
1. Rejoin the EU
2. Sign up to a deal now and hope to sort out the practicalities later
3. Get an extension and use that time wisely to get all your ducks in a row eg veterinary equivalence, recruitment of customs officers.

Yes - but what do YOU think should have happened given:

(a) There would obviously be no re-joining the EU;

(b) The deal he signed with the EU was a shit-show.

I think he should have said no-deal. Do you agree? Please don't dodge the direct question! It was deal or no-deal at that point.
