I vehemently oppose the current iteration of the Chequers Agreement negotiated by the Prime Minister with the EU. And I will vote against the Government if this version is presented to Parliament.

But what I will not be doing is writing to Sir Graham Brady, the Chairman of the 1922 Committee saying I have lost confidence in Theresa May. As a Brexiteer since before the word was invented, the last thing we need right now is a vote of confidence in the Prime Minister.

Why? I need to explain in two parts.

Firstly, the reason I oppose the Chequers Agreement is because we could find ourselves in a position where we cannot unilaterally decide to leave the Customs Union. That’s worse than before when we could at least unilaterally trigger Article 50 to leave the EU. And while we remain in the Customs Union, we will have to abide by the EU’s rules without having any influence in the making of them, be forbidden from making free trade agreements with other nations, we’ll still not have control over our borders, and have to pay around £18 billion a year for that doubtful privilege.

It’s not that I don’t trust Mrs May. She undoubtedly tried to get the best deal she could. It’s that I don’t trust the EU.
