I do believe I've sussed Boris' game plan. Rather than trying to force the EU to blink by threatening a No Deal, he's actually threatening Parliament, in the hope it will blink and accept Mrs May's deal as the lesser of two evils.
That way, if successful, he can legitimately claim to have delivered Brexit, thus cutting Farage off at the knees while satisfying most of the Conservative Party and adhering to the GFA. His remaining problems are i) Scotland and ii) that The Will of the People has changed. The people, however, can stuff themselves when it's the Conservative Party that's at risk.
His use of the pejorative word 'collaborating' is yet another part of his strategy to get the Daily Mail Tendency on-side with WWII references, the use of which makes them froth at the mouth in paroxysms of self righteousness and jingoism. Collaboration, though, also means working together to produce something - rather than nothing, as he well knows.
