AAWG ERG ARGH: Alternative Arrangements Working Group descends into acrimony over cancelled Northern Ireland trip as ERG splits on the Malthouse Compromise

buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/aa…
AAWG was meant to visit Northern Ireland today to meet businesses, security officials and visit the border.

But three sources say the trip was called off after ERG feared a “Project O’Fear” No10 stitch up

Big new fallout between Brexiteers and ministers: buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/aa…
🚨Now a serious ERG split on Malthouse

One faction has hardened its position. It used to support a time-limit, now says that's not enough. Was thought to number about two dozen MPs. Now double that

Another faction thinks ERG has to compromise to avoid CU buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/aa…
Senior Brexiteer says Malthouse is a "sticking plaster" over a deeply divided ERG. "I do think the group will split. People like Bernard Jenkin will end up voting for the deal. It’s like Che Guevara going to live in a retirement home in Florida." buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/aa…
Third problem for AAWG: Mark Sedwill is being urged to make a ruling on the use of officials by backbench Tory MPs. Vince Cable has complained (ht @rosskempsell), while Labour's @StewartWood says the govt is "flagrantly breaking established rules"

Senior Brexiteer on Malthouse Compromise: “It is ironic that something supposed to overcome division within the Conservative Party has caused further division." buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/aa…
