If we leave without a deal the disaster capitalists and currency gamblers will make their money. No Deal makes Johnson look tough.
Once the country has suffered Johnson can say the EU has come to us with new terms. He can then strike up a deal that'll be worse than May's but he'll look like a hero.

Works nicely for BJ's ego, but is also based on the fact that the EU gives a shit. With the after effects of COVID they may have other financial worries which could leave us as a sideline concern, especially if manufacturing and finance companies start to pull out of the UK.

Johnson will either have to make the UK no WTO tariffs on entry to the UK or suffer double figure inflation for a year. If you make it no tariffs on UK entry, why would any multi national company bother manufacturing in the UK? It would be too expensive to export but you could import into the UK for free. So you set your company up in the EU and export to the UK. I somehow think the EU would see that as a win win situation for them.
Sensible Brexiteers have been conned, as what they were promised is not going to happen. Remember all those Brexit politicians who said a trade deal with the EU would be the easiest in history?????

Of course note. But there's a bittersweet irony. For 4 years people have been saying "what has the EU ever done for us?"
Had we not been in a rush to evoke Article 50 and contantly banged on about "getting Brexit done", we would have wiped out the total amount we borrowed to cope with this crisis.
I am still waiting to see any benefits for leaving the EU.
