It isn't clear how he thinks a generaal election would be the place to change this: presumably by that stage the government would be touting the deal it had struck, or at least the likely shape of a post-Brexit Britain, heaven only knows what if anything Labour would have to say about it in the midst of the Marxist rant, and presuimably the Lib Dems would still be saying "not tooo late to go back" - so is he saying you could vote Lib Dem? Or maybe for the new "My name is Arron Banks UKIP Party" ?
Hmmm

I think you can rule "renegotiation" out.
Why would the EU want to go through all that again?
Why indeed would anyone?
This is where Labour is massively failing the British people and a huge proportion of its newest supporters. At the moment their idea is something along those lines, but it is a non-starter. In all the talk of rejection of a deal by Parliament or indeed another referendum, I haven't heard many people be specific about what a No vote would entail. Hard line and even not so hard line Leavers would like that to mean "crash out with no deal". The other option would be stay in the EU but under new terms. What it would not mean is starting the whole process all over again.

//Mrs May has stated, quite firmly, that there will be no hard border in Ireland.//
Well given how often she seems to completely give up on every firm statement she has ever made as PM, that should make us even more worried!
I'd be feeling more reassured if Theresa May had categorically stated that there would be one, given her track record of doing the opposite of what she promises.

I'd say Theresa May is in quite a strong position at the moment: a "soft Brexiter" by instinct, she plainly feels vindicated by the apparent success of the negotiations so far.
We should bear in mind that her position is governed entirely by the whim of her own party, and she is actually in a rather unique position of being shored up by the opposition: the fact that an election just now is unthinkable to most of her Brexit opponents (including the DUP) actually counts in her favour, that and the fact that she has no credible opposing figurehead in her own party.
Matthew Parris is the Times today has mischievously suggested that maybe her plan is actually to have no plan, but to let the "Brexit toddlers" (evoking the toddlers in Eliot's Middlemarch, who set out with unrealistic amibitions to conquer the world) retreat in the face of reality all in good time. If that WERE her idea to date (which I doubt) it has worked a treat so far :-)
