....probably not.
There is going to be a point, and I'm not sure that we haven't reached it, where the EU run out of patience *
At that point, it won't matter one jot whether no deal is unpalatable; there will be no opportunity for further extension and, if Boris has pursued such an option, at the end of the current period it will be "s*** and get off the pot time", with either crash out or revoke as being the only likely options. (Theresa's deal may also still be made graciously available by the EU, but the "backstop" amongst other things would make that as unpalatable as no deal, but the latter is already legislated for as the default, whereas the former would need to actively win a Parliamentary vote).
So, no deal or revoke, then. Which do you think Boris could support? ;-)
* Having granted the last extension only to see the UK ruling party p*** the extra time away having an entirely Eurosceptic leadership election whilst (at least visibly) spending no time whatsoever on handling the practicalities of the way forward, I think we've used up any residual sympathy we might once have had. Given Boris's stance and past actions, I can't see the EU being empathetic on a personal level either.
