Jacob Rees-Mogg Accuses Theresa May of Secret Merkel Collusion
Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg questioned Prime Minister Theresa May's leadership following a summit at Chequers. Rees-Mogg alleged that the Prime Minister's Brexit proposals were pre-cleared with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Brussels officials before being presented to the British cabinet. This perceived breach of constitutional norms has led to a loss of confidence in May's specific policy direction among hardline Brexiteers.
