NIGEL Farage was visibly astounded by the news that Jacob Rees-Mogg reportedly walked out of a meeting with Theresa May after only 15 minutes.

The Prime Minister’s meeting with Tory MPs in the European Research Group took place earlier this evening, but LBC’s political editor reported that Mr Rees-Mogg, the ERG chair, walked out halfway through. Mrs May had reportedly ordered Tory MPs to vote for Graham Brady’s amendment in tomorrow’s vote, which would give her a parliamentary mandate to go back and renegotiate with Brussels on the withdrawal deal. Speaking this evening on LBC, Mr Farage asked LBC’s political editor Theo Usherwood: “Is it true that Jacob Rees-Mogg walked out of that meeting with the Prime Minister?”

Mr Usherwood replied: “He left the meeting early.

“It’s a little bit unclear as to whether he walked out in fury.
