Rees-mogg’s right

At last we have an MP who is prepared to stand up for Britain and is not afraid to say so.

At a fringe meeting of the Tory conference Jacob Reesmogg said that the UK should not accept any more EU rules or judgments after March 2019, and he also called for the Government to quit talks if the EU refuses to start discussing a future trade deal before Christmas.

He said that we should start to be positive about Brexit and stop trying to agree all the minor points before we even consider those that are important, ie a trade deal and control of our borders.

The EU is playing hard ball while the UK is playing catch up.

The major factor is as always about money. Just tell the EU that they will not get any more money until we get a satisfactory trade deal. That would get them crying into their champagne.

Remember, there are two teams on the park, and the EU needs us as much as we need them.

For example, each year Europe sells 800,000 cars to the UK.
