Jacob Rees-Mogg on @LBC now.... taking your calls on 0345 60 60 973.

Ferrari: "Pronounce on the health of the Chequers' deal..."

JRM: "The pulse is very faint. Brexit is a fundamental error..."

Ferrari: "Brexit?"

JRM: "Chequers.... Chequers is a fundamental error."

JRM: "There comes a point when the flogging of a dead donkey has to stop...."

"I think rival plan is a Canada-plus. He (Barnier) made it clear a Canada-plus deal would be available."

Ferrari: "You weren't ganging up on the PM?"

JRM: "How would I gang up on my own PM."

JRM: I don't think Mr Carney's term should be extended. I don't think we should play ducks and drakes with the position.

Says he has been politically biased. Backs former Treasury select committee chairman and MP Andrew Tyrie to take over.

On the scallop wars, JRM: "We don't want to start sending gun boats into French waters."

He adds: "The right authority is the French authority and not the European Union. The European Union should be taken out of this."

Not exactly ringing endorsement for British fishermen.

JRM says he doesn't think 13/9 cabinet meeting should be the moment the Prime Minister meets her demise, as Andrew Bridgen suggested it might be on Monday when speaking to @LBC.

Two years ago, JRM said he supported Boris in the leadership campaign. "I have seen nothing to change my mind. I have the highest regard for Boris Johnson but there is no vacancy. I think Boris is first class."

Ferrari: "Would you retweet something that is wrong?"

Rees-Mogg: "The broad principle was right."

Ferrari: "You're not deciminating fake news?"

Rees-Mogg: "Of course I am not."

Ferrari: "Should @Arron_banks be allowed to rejoin the party?"

Rees-Mogg: "Entryism is something that should be taken seriously.

"I think you need to be careful about somebody who wants to organise and infiltration of the party."

That's a no then.
