And so you will also know they are a bunch of disaster capitalist hedge-fund managers who make their money by betting against the pound.
If we leave with no deal, they will clean up.
Rees-Mogg has already moved his business to Dublin so that he'll still be able to benefit from EU membership post-Brexit.
Now why would he do that if he believes all the rhetoric he spouts about how great Brexit will be?
And it's the ERG who are fighting against May's proposals for a deal with the EU.
Again, why....?
So it's fine saying that no deal would be disastrous for both the UK & the EU (far worse for the UK, by the way) but the facts are, the ERG are busy blocking ANY deal because no deal benefits them.
And they have the power to do so, especially given that Labour have said they won't vote for a deal which fails their 6 Tests (which any deal would automatically do because one of the tests requires continued access to the Customs Union & Single Market but the government's official policy is that we're leaving both) so No Deal really is the most likely outcome.
And if that happens, all bets are off and Spain cannot legally act unilaterally to protect the rights & privileges of Brits in Spain because any deal going forward would have to be ratified by the other 26 member states & then written into EU law.
And that's looking very, very unlikely.
So I hope you've got a plan for relocating back to the UK because as things stand, it appears you may well have to implement it at some point in the next 12 months.
