They can't find their unicorn.

May's deal was described as a traffic cone on a donkey in something I read this morning.

I suspect the DUP's approval is simply a matter of how much money the UK govt will spend in Northern Ireland in exchange for their approval.

I'm not so sure. Possibly they can be bribed to abstain.

Multiple recent polls suggest otherwise. Have UK voters changed their minds on Brexit? - BBC News

If no deal is available by end of Oct, 69% of those that voted out would prefer no deal (51% prefer no deal wherever we are by the end of Oct).

That's the article I was thinking of too. It does not say most Leave voters want no deal. It says they prefer no deal to ongoing/cancelled Brexit.

My honest opinion is that Boris doesn't want the deal to pass! All he wants is any way/excuse he can find to leave without a deal or if this is not at all possible get a GE where he can claim he did what he promised (kind of), agreeing a new deal with the EU and is not his fault parliament vote it down again. This can be an argument on Tories favour to get more seats on parliament so they can move on with Brexit.

I don't think that's true at all. They prefer it to staying but the majority would prefer a GOOD deal. At this point I'm not sure if they would rather a bad deal, no deal, or just any deal!

And what exactly is a good deal!? Thought May believed her deal was good, same now with Boris!

Trying to get through the biggest piece of legislature in decades (centuries?) without a majority. Boris definitely has balls but really... even with DUP they still fall short don't they?

That's the all point! Boris never wanted to pass a deal...
