Why yes he is:
"U.K. and European Union negotiators are closing in on a draft Brexit deal amid optimism there could be a breakthrough before the end of Tuesday, two EU officials said.
They cautioned talks haven’t yet finished, and there could be problems hitting the midnight deadline. But there are clear signs that a legal text is close to being ready.
The aim would be to present the draft to national delegations on Wednesday morning, an EU diplomat said. The pound surged, climbing as much as 1.2% to $1.2756, the highest level in nearly four months."
EU, U.K. Negotiators Closing In on a Draft Deal: Brexit Update
Guess that the EU that puts things off to the last second is flinching now that they are up against a man determined to leave with or without a deal.
I don't take sides.
He is winning no matter how Switzerland like you are.
That sentence alone shows how worthy of dismissal your whole post is, seeing how the stupidity it displays deserves no other response than pointing that out.~.................Guess that the EU that puts things off to the last second is flinching now that they are up against a man determined to leave with or without a deal.
Today's leaked pictures of election leaflets suggest the Conservatives fear Brexit won't happen on the 31st. So, no... he's not winning.

Boris Johnson 'preparing to fight next election on assumption Brexit has not happened' | Daily Mail Online
Several commentators are reflecting that only the terminally stupid will fall for any more of Boris's lies.

To those less interested in what garbage this thread is trolled with, it may be reasonably assumed that the greater need to compromise was felt on the UK side. Nothing to do with "flinching" either, Johnson knows that he can't get his promised no-deal through.
No.Could the EU simply toss the UK out, regardless of what will or won't pass in the UK Parliament?
No.
There is no provision whatever in EU statutes for expelling a member.
As I told the other poster, I don't take sides.
Didn't imply you were. I responded to your headline article "is Boris winning?"
He isn't.

Mainland Europeans will lose the right to freedom of movement in the UK, while UK citizens will lose that right in 30 European nations. Post Brexit, should it ever happen.
So many assessments and one more ridiculous than the other.Guess you are going to have to wait and see what the deal struck is. Turns out those who said BoJo couldn't get a deal were wrong. Now it is going to be in Parliament's hands. If they kill it, then they get the blame for a no deal exit and the Conservatives will gain seats when the election comes. It also means BoJo will survive a no-confidence vote. Just getting a deal struck throws the political hot potato back at all those who have been dishing it since he took over.
Looks like the DUP is the last main stumbling block again and Boris does not want to stab them in the back.
That means most likely that NI stays in the customs and regulatorty Union and the border is in the Irish Sea,..... The very scenario that experts proposed 3 years ago....

Well, seeing how he's now announced it as "done" (in hilarious cross-pond vocabulary), it'll be interesting to see the numbers in Westminster if the DUP withholds support.DUP reject current deal.
Funny how Theresa May going to the country in 2017 prevented her and now BoJo pushing the deal through against Protestant wishes.
He is playing everyone as it wont pass and he will gets his billions in a hard Brexit. It is a poison pill.Well, seeing how he's now announced it as "done" (in hilarious cross-pond vocabulary), it'll be interesting to see the numbers in Westminster if the DUP withholds support.
He isn't around the Benn Act though if this plunges on Saturday (as I expect it will).He is playing everyone as it wont pass and he will gets his billions in a hard Brexit. It is a poison pill.
