Jacob Rees-Mogg said Northern Ireland could simply go back to the border security arrangements of The Troubles.

ERG Andrew Bridgen @ABRIDGEN said English people can automatically get Irish Passports.
You get how crazy that is?

So the Good Friday Agreement is just not a thing?

ERG Mark Francois doesn't know the difference between the European Union and the Customs Union.
He is therefore holding the government to ransom over Brexit, BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT BREXIT IS!!
