The erg don't sound like self-important berks at all, do they? 21:35 - Dec 23 with 3889 views | factual_blue | From The Independent website 'ERG says it will examine trade agreement in detail if deal reached tonight The Tory European Research Group (ERG) of pro-Brexit Conservative MPs has insisted it will examine any trade agreement in detail if a deal is reached tonight between London and Brussels. The body said it would reconvene its so-called "star chamber" to examine any deal. A statement issued by the group on Wednesday said: "Assuming a deal between UK and the EU is officially confirmed tonight, the European Research Group will tomorrow reconvene the panel of legal experts, chaired by Sir William Cash MP, to examine the details of the deal and legal text. The team of highly-experienced lawyers, previously known as the 'star chamber', was first assembled in 2019 to examine the legal aspects of Theresa May's original Withdrawal Agreement. Given that the new agreement is also highly complex, the star chamber will scrutinise it in detail, to ensure that its provisions genuinely protect the sovereignty of the United Kingdom after we exit the transition period at the end of this year. The star chamber, which will include some new members to replace those now in Government, will undertake its examination as expeditiously as possible before providing its conclusions on the merits of the deal - which we will aim to make public before Parliament reconvenes.''

The erg don't sound like self-important berks at all, do they? on 22:32 - Dec 23 by 26_Paz | They’ll make sure it actually means Brexit and won’t support it if it doesn’t, good for them. If we’ve managed to reach a good trade deal I look forward to the reaction on here |
Is that the same lot that blocked the will of the people by stopping the progression of the previous deal? I thought you didn't like that sort of thing? |  | |  |
The erg don't sound like self-important berks at all, do they? on 10:24 - Dec 24 with 847 views | Churchman | What an arrogant bunch of window lickers the ‘ERG’ are. Self serving idiots who portray themselves as the moral guardians of ‘Brexit’ - without taking the trouble to understand what Brexit meant. Some of them appeared at Select Committees and were always noticeable as people that never bothered to read the supporting papers. Because they knew best. I doubt they’ll even read the agreement let alone examine it. They will object to everything while preening themselves from their bogus moral high ground. For them it’ll be about justifying their existence, an existence that the Tory party should have stamped out years ago. Which brings me on to Farage. The man of the people, pictured with his elbow on the bar holding his pint. How on earth does that nauseating creep of a man get the air time he does? Same way that Trump does, I suppose. My one hope is that the fashion for these damaging clowns is passing now and they’ll just disappear. |  | |  |

No, you’re thinking of the excuse for a parliament that was roundly defeated at the last election. These are the ones that respect the will of the people. |  |

I think you may find that the membership of the ERG is little changed, apart from previous members that defined the will of the people that are now part of the Government. Still, as long as they are on your team, all is okay. |  | |  |

I don’t think these people show respect for anything other than themselves. Their interpretation of ‘the will of the people’ has no substance in my view. |  | |  |

Out of interest, who is your local MP? |  |

| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Ah. A fine chap indeed. Admires Pinochet. Thinks maternity leave impacts a woman's ability to do her job. A member of a Tommy Robinson Facebook fan page that was attempting to collapse a court case regarding abuse of minors. Voted against LGBTQ bills including civil partnerships. Voted against section 28. Weirdly obsessed with 'pink' passports. Blocked bills to prevent animals from being used in circuses. In favour of the death penalty. In favour of detaining asylum seekers. He sounds just your kind of guy. [Post edited 24 Dec 2020 13:46]

Paz, do you really, deep down, think that members of the ERG and other leading brexiteers like Farage, actually have your best interests at heart? Do you really think they care about making your life better, or improving the lives of your family? |  | |  |
