Henig is suffering from the delusion that the Tories care much about N. Ireland and that their engagement on the issue is to try to resolve it. In reality, its about throwing some red meat to Brexit supporters and keeping tensions with the EU high as a distraction from Johnson's internal political problems. If they didn't have the EU to whinge about, they would have no idea how to actually resolve their own internal problems.

Even if Johnson were kicked out tomorrow, he will still go down in the history books forever as the PM who made Brexit happen. There's not much more he can hope to accomplish at this point, it's just inertia from now on in.

More likely it's a slow gradual slide into economic stagnation and political irrelevance, but Johnson and his support base are still in denial about that...

Hells, they're still in denial about no longer living in Victoria's empire.
