1/ In his resignation letter Lord Frost expressed his wish that the UK would become a “lightly regulated, low-tax” country. In other words like Daniel Hannan and the ERG cabal Frost wants the UK to become a deregulated Brexit tax haven for the rich.

2/ Frost's remark is a rare glimpse into the Tory Brexiters' real motivations, which they cynically hid from voters. They want a deregulated economy with taxes far too low to maintain the NHS or welfare - a brutal tax haven, a libertarian's wet dream. 
3/ The fact that Steve Baker could simply boot Nadine Dorries off the 100-strong Clean Global Brexit WhatsApp group shows that they are very confident in their power. They are libertarian extremists who want a deregulated Brexit tax haven for the rich.
4/ The Tory Brextremists know voters will never support their libertarian policies. So if they get into power they will seek both to distract voters with nationalist flag-waving and culture wars and to suppress democracy.
5/ The CGB/ERG Tories are dangerous extremists. Here's Steve Baker MP a few years ago calling for the EU to be "wholly torn down", a move which would benefit Putin and disaster capitalists, and plunge Europe into economic and political chaos.
6/ When he was a Tory MEP @CharlesTannock wrote of a conversation with a leading Brexiter suggesting their ambition is to destroy all multilateral world bodies including the EU and the WTO and eventually the UN & NATO.
Why do that, if not to replace democracy with kleptocracy?
