Northern Editor Tommie Gorman says Jacob Rees Mogg could be moving away from the DUP and towards backing Theresa May's brexit deal
The DUP may have some serious thinking to do, now that Jacob Rees Mogg has hinted he may be minded to supporting Theresa May’s deal. As the chairman of the pro-Brexiteer sub-group, the ERG, within the Conservative party, Mr Rees Mogg has cultivated close links with the DUP.
At 7.20am this morning, on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, one of the less conspicuous of the DUP’s Westminster MP’s, Jim Shannon, surfaced. He was 'on message', ventilating the DUP’s policy. He said: "This process has been very interesting ... Leo Varadkar, Steve Coveney [sic], the Irish Government, the EU all told us that the border would be a hard border … and then at the weekend, on Sunday past actually, Leo Varadkar, the Taoiseach said very clearly there would not be a hard border ... the conflict and the hype over the border seem to have disappeared."
