With a detailed 43 point plan for optimal party enjoyment amongst All members of society, not just the super rich.
He was the key player in all of it. He needed to walk away in the negotiation and indicate he would recommend the leave vote, having witnessed the disrespect shown to the UK and put the referendum date in May of 2017.
He was far, far too complacent.
I've decided to have a picture which shows what a true Englishman I am.
Farage's reaction could affect BoJo's prospects if the deal materialises and gets past the HoC.

According to Danny Dyer
One round my way at Ethandune - must be an unlucky seat, it's the second time they've had a by-election caused by death of an incumbent in just 5 years.
Still a lot of hurdles to cross though before Boris can declare a deal is done.
(*I don't buy it myself but I can see the logic)
I'm sure there was a thread on it at the time, probably from Mr Meeks, about how crucial the judgement that the UK had the ability to unilaterally revoke could be. It makes the path of resistance so much more tempting for starters.
Remainer MPs are going to need to tread carefully if they wish to vote down another opportunity to avoid no deal.
I suspect that if the DUP/ERG get on board then the deal will pass with the support of Labour MPs in leaver seats.

And if you disagree with that, at the very least as PM he bares the responsibility.
He declares victory.
But Francois, Baker and the like don't like the existence of the backstop at all.
And he now has a majority of minus forty-odd.
And he needs to persuade the former Conservative MPs to vote for the deal. (A group who have no great love for Boris.)
So... what happens next?
Totally unrelated, I've just watched the first part of the BBC's Rise of the Nazis; bloody hell that's scary.
Heart of stone.
It is almost in the Tories interests for the post-exit negotiations to be long, tortuous and annoying because there will be little mileage in being seen as weak supplicants which is the role Labour will almost certainly fall in to.
He might like to read up on the Khmer Rouge to see how extremely left-wing movements can be nationalist and racist.
Suffolk's Babergh District Council - pronounced "Bay-ber" - takes its name from the Anglo-Saxon place name Barberga and has existed since 1974.
The district was first listed in the Domesday Book in 1086."

Episode 1: 2010 - Helped Into Power.
I mentioned the Khmer Rouge because they were about as far-left and as racist/nationalist as it is possible to be. They are the canonical example of Communism taken to its extreme.
I still think a disorderly withdrawal is the most likely outcome. What happens after that is anyone’s guess.

Canada's PM Justin Trudeau has said he cannot remember how often he wore blackface as a younger man, as a scandal deepened ahead of an election.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49763805
Just how often did he go to fancy dress parties like that? Was it when he was stuck for an outfit, he went you know what always goes down a storm...
I know I have worn blackface exactly zero times.
If they do want us out, and don't want to be (credibly)( blamed through not accepting a request for extension, then marqueemark's plan of a short extension with a firm commitment of nothing more is the way to go. Time for a GE or referendum keeps the debate boiling over, and opens up remain as an option. A very short extension says 'fine, you still haven't made up your mind, so no we will make you do make up your mind' and you get the deal or no deal parliamentary decision May and Boris would dearly love, or else the remainer majority go mass LD and revoke.
Even without the rider of no extension being available parliament will be hard pressed to justify refusing to vote the deal through.
DUP+ERG+Tories+Labour MPs from leave seats+odds and sods...should be just about there.

And he's a law graduate!
If they do, then I see no reason in these circumstances why someone like Macron won't say "its this or nothing, no more extensions". Its in their interests and its in the UK government's interests and if Parliament doesn't like it . . . well sucks for them. That's part of being in a union of 28 nations, Parliament won't always get its way when unanimity of 28 is needed. Ironic, eh?
So. Go to your room and write out 100 times "the differences regarding property ownership and the militarisation of society are sufficient to regard Naziism as a subset of 20th century fascism rather than socialist". And don't come down until you have understood what you have done.

Nazism was a weird hybrid of socialist principles, rabid nationalism, quasi-religiose militarism and oodles of racism.
Japan's richest man has warned that Brexit is "practically impossible" and could take the United Kingdom back to the economic stagnation of the 1970s when the country was often described as the "sick man of Europe."
"I think Brexit is practically impossible because the old borders will be shaky and the UK has a Northern Ireland issue and a Scotland issue," Yanai told CNN Business. "Therefore, I think Brexit is difficult to realize even if the UK wants to do it."
"If Brexit does happen, the UK could revert back to the former situation before the Margaret Thatcher era, when the UK was referred to as the sick man of Europe. I'm afraid that could happen again."
Meanwhile right wing talk radio is a revelation. The only talk radio stations I can get in the car up here in the Black Hills are two utterly loopy Christian stations and a local one that is one of many that syndicates the Mike Gallagher show, apparently one of the most popular talk show hosts in the US. It was remarkable that most of the talk was his - audience participation was limited to a voicemail facility; if he liked the message he would play an excerpt on air, but no risk of a live conversation.
To give you a flavour, yesterday for an hour and a half:
- “Democrats are coming for your guns”, repeated over and over. The clip of Beto from the debates must have been played at least four times;
- A report of a homeowner who had three masked armed youths break into his house, and took all of them out with his semi automatic weapon. So Democrats are siding with the masked youths...;
- Democrats are trying to stop Trump’s wall because apparently it disturbs some thousands-of-years-old Native American archaeological sites. Much mirth about how listeners could go on with their lives if these remains are disturbed;
- selected excerpts from the senate hearings, praising Trump’s staff for stonewalling the process and accusing Democrats of wasting time and money on an anti-Trump vendetta;
- lots of charity appeals for the families of dead veterans and police officers;
- repeated appeals to back Trump as the only guy in Washington fighting for the little guy against the evil Democrats and DC machine;
All interspersed with advertising for various dodgy sounding companies that are funding the show. Such as a firm making Christian jigsaw puzzles and that will, for a significant monthly sum, send you a box of religious blessings every month. And another called ‘medishare’ that was pitched as a club where you all pay in and those who get seriously ill get their medical bills paid (I was unclear how this differed from PHI but the sales pitch was imaginative).
All delivered in a James Whale-style over-the-top superhyped bravado.
The worrying thing is that it was quite addictive listening, despite all the palpable nonsense
In an area as dominated by one party in recent times as that I don't know what we can really learn even when it does align with recent results generally.
Interesting to see the Liberals standing.
