As the ERG prepares to vote against Rishi Sunak’s Northern Ireland deal, its hypocrisy is exposed
This is embarrassing for Jacob Rees-Mogg and all his European Research Group (ERG) colleagues who are about to vote against Rishi Sunak’s ‘Windsor Framework’.
It’s just an improved update of the Northern Ireland Protocol that they all supported to the hilt when Boris Johnson brought it, “oven-ready”, to Parliament.
Have a gander at this video clip in which Peter Stefanovic exposes the hypocrisy:
Jeez! @Jacob_Rees_Mogg this morning criticizing the Northern Ireland Protocol & Rishi Sunak’s new Brexit deal but no one actually points out it’s an improved version of the Boris Johnson deal he championed & voted for!

The ERG was set to vote with Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party against the ‘Stormont Brake’ aspect of the ‘Windsor Framework’ today.
Doesn’t it seem clear that this decision is a political move – probably intended to destabilise Rishi Sunak in preparation for a possible return by Boris Johnson?
