Added to the fact that even the government know how bad this will be if they believe their own memo's, and are using shady tricks to force it through. That's not a good look.

It's cynical but within the current context it's not surprising. Boris' target electorate is Leave voters who are all going to side with him over this more than Jo Swinson and Ian Blackford. No one voted for No Deal but everyone knew it was a possibility I think and the only deal that was agreed (and the EU say cant be changed) was unpopular with everyone and couldnt pass. The vast majority of MPs all voted to trigger article 50 and that set no deal as the default and everyone knew about that. It can't really be ignored that everyone up in arms over this are firm Remainers who are equally cynical in their motives as Johnson imo
