Brexit hardliner Jacob Rees-Mogg reiterated his backing to Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal as it’s better than no Brexit. He tweeted that “The choice seems to be Mrs May’s deal or no Brexit.” Also, Rees-Mogg explained in the Monday Moggcast podcast that “I’ve always thought that no deal is better than Mrs. May’s deal, but that Mrs. May’s deal is better than not leaving at all.” While May’s deal is “in no way a good deal, Rees-Mogg said: “against that there are the threats of a long delay, and many people in Parliament who want to frustrate the result of the referendum.”
Conservative MP Michael Fabricant echoed as that it’s the “dreadful conclusion” he came to too. And “a new PM can then negotiate a better and more distanced relationship with the EU after Brexit. (Of course this is the least worst option but the only practical way forward for now.)”
Fabricant also said: “The practical alternatives are far worse that the Withdrawal Agreement including keeping us in the Customs Union and Single Market indefinitely so no control of immigration or having to obey EU directives.”
