He just conducted a "saturday night massacre" of his cabinet a week or so ago, and eliminated anyone who was a remainer. The guy is a flake, but he knows he needs to accomplish Brexit one way or another by Oct 31 (Halloween) or his Conservative Party is toast, since it massively betrayed its electorate on the issue.
Meanwhile, control of the EU has lurched from Merkel's into Macron's hands. Despite the success of the nationalist parties in the EU Parliament (including Farage's Brexit Party) the EU leadership (over which the Parliament has no nominating control) has gone full-integrationist. So while England looks like it will be leaving, and nationalist parties in the EU are makin gains, the EU leadership is heading in the other direction.
It seems to be setting the stage for an EU breakup at some point.
After days of forgetting.
But your post is much more comprehensive. Thanks for the update.
