Here are the arguments of Rees-Mogg as stated in the Express:

"What we need is a leader who will say to the EU 'it is impossible to divide up the UK, it is impossible to agree to a situation where we have a perpetual customs union, it's impossible to pay £39billion of taxpayers money for a few promises which were meant to be £39billion for an implementation of a deal, and it is impossible for us to allow the continuing jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice’."


I am not saying I agree with them, just trying to put a bit of focus into the discussion. For example:

Why are we paying the EU this money: it is 'for an implementation of a deal' or is it for some other reason?

In what aspects if any will the European Court of Justice continue to have jurisdiction?

In what sense does the proposed agreement 'divide up' the UK?
