LONDON (Reuters) - The leader of a faction in British Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative party demanding a clean break from the European Union, has denied issuing an ultimatum after asking her to drop a proposal for a customs partnership with the bloc.

 

A document prepared by the European Research Group, which is chaired by Jacob Rees-Mogg, said it would be "impossible" for Britain to strike meaningful trade deals under a customs partnership.

 

"There is no question of there being an ultimatum, this is a paper that has been produced on a specific aspect of policy that would not work," Rees-Mogg told BBC radio.

 

May's Brexit sub-committee, which helps set the direction of policy on leaving the bloc, meets on Wednesday to discuss narrowing down the position on a future customs arrangement with the EU to one of two options.

 

A customs partnership is one of two proposed options that May's government has proposed on customs, and means Britain would continue to collect EU tariffs for goods which are headed for member states.

He’s on a mission, helping out his pals in the banks, the financial services industry and the beneficiaries of ’offshore trusts’ 

 

It’s an utter mystery that this Old Etonian, Oxford graduate headgefund managers and shining example of the UK’s ‘elite’ has convinced a guy who frequently harks back to his working class roots in Glasgow that he’s working on behalf of ‘the little guy’.

 

Doff your hat and tug your forelocks.

C/h...you always go on about what someone has/has not..and also my working class roots..you NEVER go on about what's in someone's heart..the way they see things and feel about things..particularily when they have lifelong friends " stuck " in the UK for one reason or another.

I don’t dispute what’s in your heart, it’s the cap doffing, forelock tugging and eagerness to play the groveling surf for such a shining example of an English ‘toff’ that amazes me.

 

Unless these lifelong friends of yours are wealthy enough to be counted in the top 0.25% then Rees-Mogg is is not doing anything for them.

 

He’s a paid up signed up member of the Tory elite, he’s looking after his chums.

[malagateddy]

Neither my friends nor I are particularly wealthy..nor do we" doff our cap " at anyone.
Anyone who will standup to the fraudulent corrupt jobsworths over in brussels will do me just fine.
JRM would not take any sh-t from brussels..that's why right now he would be a good PM for the UK imo

Rees-Mogg’s agenda is avoiding taxes on the hyper wealthy, removing workers rights and dismantling the regulation of banks and the financial services sector.

 

He relies on the support of cap doffers to this.

 

He’s not going to do anything for you or your fiends other than strip out welfare, healthcare and all other forms of social protection.

 

Open your eyes and ears, he’s a paid up signed up member of the Tory elite.

 

He’ll only look after the 0.25%.

Why does TV select these opinionated junk articles! There is no such thing as hard brexit! There is real exit from EU and able to negotiate independently with other countries or not! So the remainers are doing all they can to stop this and in effect be still under EU control! Low grade Undemocratic liars

Well, then, I guess you're claiming that all the self-styled brexiteers in this forum who are claiming that the UK can negotiate a deal with the EU before leaving are just a bunch of "Low grade Undemocratic liars".

There is real exit from the EU and being exposed to being shafted by the US, China and India.

 

Or the UK could remain a member of a powerful trading group in which it has an absolute sovereign right to refuse any legislation or regulations it does not agree with while enjoying the bargaining power of that group against the US, China, India....

Yes, this is exactly the point!

 

On top of that, in order to compete with imports from countries with poor environmental, labour and husbandry standards, would cause our own standards to be driven down.

 

Great article, it shows what an incorrigible, supercilious, fool Jacob Rees Mogg actually is.

Rees-Mogg, champion of zero hour contracts, enemy of workers’ rights.... worshipped by cap doffers.

 

But of course he ticks all important boxes ‘Old Etonian, Oxford, Multimillionaire Hedge Fund Manager and he talks posh’.

 

The perfect patrician for the surfs to grovel to.

 

Not content to simply know their place, eager to show allegiance to their ‘rightful master’.... as he shafts them.... again!

I'm astonished by the discrepancy between how indignant Brexiteers were about George Soros contributing to Brexit oppostion and how complacent they've been about Robert Mercer, the American hedge-fund billionair and right wing loon, and his pro-brexit contribution.

Not at all - regardless on where you stood on the principle of EU membership, you were bombarded with lies and misinformation. So to say that the Rees Mogg scenario is what the country voted for is patent nonsense - nobody had a clue what we were voting for. Every one of us was sold a pig in a poke by people who were putting their own self interests first.
