Any new deal couldn't be that different from what May and the EU worked out, unless you have a hard border in Ireland, which breaks the Good Friday agreement. The extreme Brexiteers will vote for Farage unless they get No Deal (or a magic unicorn 'free-trade with any country, no border checks with Ireland' deal which would stop the EU being able to set its own trade deals).

But yes, all he wants is to be leader.
