What is the ERG? Rees-Mogg's Brexit brigade who could topple May

EU states could BLOCK an extension to Brexit, and Nigel Farage has urged them to go ahead and do it.

Michel Barnier is said to have told senior MEPs and ambassadors this morning that there's not a clear majority for any extension to Brexit.

And among the 27 countries there are different ideas on the conditions and length of extension too, if the PM did ask for one.

Every state has to agree unanimously in order to let the UK delay Brexit past March 29.

But it's looking more and more likely that MPs will try and force Theresa May to ask for this as the Brexit deadlock continues in Parliament.

Mr Barnier said today that there would be no more talks between the UK and the EU over Brexit...

Am sorry, the vote was in June 2016, that’s almost 3 years now! Yet, we are still not getting anywhere.

Erg needs to act now before it's to late

[CHRISTOPHER]

I think jacob Rees-Mogg would be a good prime minister

ERG should quit the Conservatives if no deal or a proper Brexit (not May's deal) doesn't carry through. They could do so much more from outside the party, by either joining up with Farage or forming their own party. They could win loads of seats since 2/3 of constituencies voted to leave. Both the Conservative and Labour leave voters will vote tactically to oust their incumbent remainer supporting MPs.

If you want BREXIT, UK needs a REVOLUTION, otherwise, no point discussing it, they'll keep on voting to expand the article 50 every time they're in limbo.

EMPEROR MOGG: 'Lord Davis go to Westminster and eliminate the MP's and The House of Lords. Once again the British will rule themselves then we shall have Brexit and peace.'

[royrj]

May should be forced to resign and a General Election should be called, that should sort a few of the MP's that have gone against their constituents 😂😂

[theearlofgrantham]

ERG = Democratic and honour bound, genuine Conservatives.

[likklej]

Isn’t erg an electronic circuit fault?

[stoobydootoo]

I dont know what the subject of their 'research' has been, but it certainly hasnt been the EU. Or the WTO either, for that matter.

[keegan]

The ERG seem to be the only ones who are trying to deliver the Brexit we voted for.
As for the

[thecount]

By elections are on 2nd of may 2019, let them try to delay Brexit, we will sack them ALL FOR THIS.

[grimupnorth]

I'd go with Boris for PM but he's proven to be a war monger and interventionist

[felixfedre]

The only thing left now is WTO (No Deal), let's get on with it.

[duncanmacpherson]

The ERG simply want to honour the referendum result. Theresa May's deal does not The Labour party does not and neither do the Liberals, the Independent Group or the SNP

[occamsrazor]

Names be gathered. Shame on the incompetent ones and failure to deliver and support democracy.

[MrMwhiting]

No deal is better than a bad deal. Sign the UK open petition for a no deal Brexit 365, 675 MBGA

[kevinbuckley]

The ERG is the UKIP branch of the Conservatives within its ranks.

[anthonymellor]

The ERG should explain that £1 billion a month to extend article 50 we have to pay the EU it’s time the ERG stand up and really challenged the Prime Minister in the house and release what it cost and how we are being strangled by the European Union and not being heard
