I think that it's a real possibility.

Boris will win the Tory leadership and the Labour Party will have a leadership contest too, with both new leaders going head to head. Tory- out, Labour- in (after getting more concessions in the problematic areas to appease enough out voters to tip the balance in remains favour).

After this result, Labour are in an excellent bargaining position to get what's best for the UK and remain in the EU. If the EU don't play ball, they will lose the UK, which could start the collapse of the whole EU and they don't want that to happen.

The next GE will essentially be another EU referendum.
