Bercow refuses to allow 'meaningful vote' on Brexit deal today

9. One thing I'm not sure about,

is that it appears Boris is desperate for an election, and he seems to be certain he can win.

Is that the case? Would the disaffected Tories who deserted come back to the fold, or would they strike out on their own?

Every time I see Boris, he looks like such a loser - he's physically so disorganised, you can't help wondering if it's a reflection of what passes for his mind. Would people really vote for him?

I imagine one thing going for him is the disarray in the Opposition parties, but I'm not sure how much of that is real and how much is confected newspaper hysteria. It's awfully hard too make sense of it at such a distance.
