It is possible that Boris Johnson knows fully well that no-deal would be a disaster, including and especially for anyone presiding over it, and is actually trying to pull another "Producers" and setting himself up to "be thwarted by Remainers" and become enough of a martyr for Brexit in the next election to weather a wrathful Nigel Farage. After all, "having one's cake and eat it" is a favorite expression of his.

BoJo asks opposition parties to table a motion of no-confidence. Opposition says "lol no".

Wait doesnt Boris want the opposition to bring forward a no-confidence motion, if so why would he wanted it tabled

Quote from: the Wikipedia article on "Table (parliamentary procedure)"
In parliamentary procedure, the verb to table has the opposite meaning in different countries:

  • In the United States, to "table" usually means to postpone or suspend consideration of a pending motion.
  • In the rest of the English-speaking world, to "table" means to begin consideration (or reconsideration) of a proposal.

In the end DUP made no difference.  Even if they voted the other way  Letwin would have passed anyway.

No, it would have lost 312 to 316 then.
