While I tend to agree, your post sums up what I felt would happen - Johnson would come out of it as the darling of the Leave voters, and as the person who managed to achieve what TM didn't.
It's already been called out as sexist (Amber Rudd?) in that the proposal in many respects isn't vastly different from TMs and yet seems to have garnered more support.
I'm not saying that TM had my full support but I think he is benefitting from her rough ride (which I suppose was inevitable).
However I'm genuinely glad it seems to be moving towards completion. I arrive back from Portugal on Friday night and I hope that I can watch Parliament sitting and approving the proposal on Saturday
