That's probably all large parties then except the Liberal Democrats who aren't exactly overflowing in popularity.
Boris seems to be choosing his moments to wind May up. On the eve of the conference at which May wants to discuss policy initiatives apart from Brexit, Boris is firmly stirring things up with a Sun interview emphasising his divergence from the agreed line on key aspects of leaving the EU.
1. Length of transition
TM "About two years"
BJ "Do I want the delay to go on longer than two years? Not a second more."
2. Adopting European Court rulings during transition period
TM concedes this may be inevitable
BJ Should not accept them
3. Single market access post EU
TM Open mind
BJ Britain should not pay for access to the single market after the transition period ends and that the UK should not shadow European rules to maintain access to the single market.
