Brinksmanship is part of every negotiation and they just threw a wrench in Johnson's ability to utilize that tactic. A more cynical person might think this was the intended effect.

Or they're trying hard to sway things towards a second referendum or something like that. And honestly, one doesn't have to be cynical to think it was their intended effect to make Johnson look weaker in this scenario. He isn't exactly the most well liked, or even respected, person in British politics. I couldn't cite it, but I remember seeing that he is the least popular PM to hold the office out the gate.
