Sorry but that record majority vote line does tend to get on my wick a bit and i must have heard it mentioned at least 10 times over the past couple of days alone. When people say the biggest vote ever voted to leave the EU, it conveniently omits the equally relevant fact that the second biggest vote ever voted to remain in the EU. It was 52-48, a slim majority, not the unambiguous, huge mandate they seek to imply.

Well tbf; I do agree with you 100% that it was not a record majority. I should have put the word record in quotes because that result of that 1st referendum was nowhere near a 'record' majority. If the UK had written up & passed the special legislation in parliament to have another referendum on a potential No-Deal Brexit. The next result of that referendum, depending on what question is asked from it, could command a much higher & historic majority among the British public to either vote for one of two potential options of the staying in the EU along with 'No Deal' or 'Leave' & that is either 'No Brexit' or 'Remain'.

But observing this outcome is all dependent if the Tories & BJ are kicked out of the vote in the next snap GE.

I am not sure whether the original WA comes into play again into British politics at all when the UK is teetering close to a No-Deal scenario at this current time. If you heard Nigel Farage's comment about the BP fighting for every seat in the GE against the Tories. That will give big opportunities for Farage to dilute BJ's majority in the British Parliament.

The DUP lady seemed genuinely terrified that a no deal dramatically increases the likelihood of a border poll which could be successful.
By extrapolation, that means No Deal makes a wholesale breakup of the union more likely.

Is no deal a win win for Nationalists in the long term?
