Max,

I think Boris is going to do his best to shift the blame and twist the narrative whatever happens. He's not going to own anything.

He's already blaming the EU for not making concessions that they'd already made it very clear they wouldn't make when he claimed he could get those concessions from them. He's blaming his opponents for, well, opposing him, which he says is weakening his hand in negotiations with the EU that, according to the EU, he's only pretending to be engaged in anyway. Now he's blaming the Supreme Court for doing the same. So yes he'll spin it. But sitting back and not challenging him would only lead to him leading us into crashing out without a deal. He'd still blame that on everyone other that himself. And a significant portion of the UK press will back whatever story he tells. And we'd have crashed out without a deal. So, opposing him seems like the better option for those who don't want us to leave without a deal.

-Matt
