Topic: Jacob Rees Mogg

Prime Minister Theresa May has requested a Brexit extension to June 30th while negotiating with the Labour Party. Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests that if the UK remains in the EU, it should use its power to veto the multi-annual financial framework and disrupt Brussels' budget. EU leaders are reportedly losing patience with the prolonged negotiation process.

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.
