I was surprised of this too at first. What I have pondered is that perhaps he is following old advice: "keep you allies close to you, and your enemies even closer". Could he be thinking, that by keeping them in the government there is lower chance of them screwing up the no-deal option if he (most likely) fails to renegotiate the Withdrawal Agreement?
