Farage seems to think that too, says something like Boris has a history of wobbling on this issue and cannot be trusted, and has threatened Boris with the Brexit party to force the Tory hand. The Brexit party results in the EU elections have made the threat very real. Farage is well positioned to gut the Tories and deny the Boris dream of being a historical Prime Minister of great renown. I believe Boris wants to avoid this outcome over any other, and is willing to sacrifice any potential Brexit deal to ensure the Farage prediction does not come to pass.

Boris wants his election very badly, and he doesn't want Farage running in it too if at all possible. It would look especially bad if Boris called for the election and Farage became the Prime Minister as a result.

If you were Farage, would you sleep with one eye open?

In America, they JFK leaders who try to do the right thing.
