Amid the expectation of an EU-UK agreement, ERG MPs will want to wait until we have seen a legal text and we understand what it means, if our opinion is to have any credibility. @Conservatives @StandUp4Brexit As soon as @10DowningStreet make statement, we will expect to have text
He also says he expects the ERG (see 7.09am) to be disappointed with the deal.

Covid crisis watch
A perfect storm has pitched the UK economy into troubled waters.
Britain’s economy is suffering increasing damage from the rapid growth in Covid infections, renewed lockdown measures, and turmoil over Brexit at the end of the worst year for growth in three centuries, according to a Guardian analysis.
With negotiations going down to the wire amid vast tailbacks at Dover before the Brexit transition expires on New Year’s Eve, the latest figures from the UK economy show stalling growth, falling retail sales, and redundancies rising at the fastest rate since records began.
James I'd be very worried if I were you as a teacher you are in the firing line of this deadly South African Covid 19 mutation. Its worse than the one in Kent England and its here.
And they have money/cash. They wouldn't purchase it if they couldn't afford it.
It's not just Brexit you need to be worrying about. It's the new South Africa virus which Han--k said is worse than the one just found in Kent. It affects children more and the TV showed they were in hospital last night. Remember it's the virus that started all of this. And it will finish it.

The UK has detected two cases of another new variant of coronavirus, the health secretary Matt Han**** says.
The cases in London and north west England are contacts of people who travelled to South Africa, where the variant was discovered.
Travel restrictions with South Africa have been imposed.
Anyone who has travelled there in the past fortnight, and anyone they have been in contact with, are being told to quarantine immediately.
The variant has been causing mounting concern in South Africa, where health minister Zweli Mkhize warned that "young, previously healthy people are now becoming very sick".
He said the country "cannot go through what we went through in the early days of the

Brexit deal hangs in balance as EU rejects UK’s latest fish offer
Michel Barnier says talks ‘really in crucial moment’ as January 1st deadline looms
The prospect of a Brexit deal before Christmas hung in the balance on Tuesday night after Michel Barnier rejected Britain’s latest offer on access to its fishing waters. Mr Barnier said his negotiations with Britain’s chief negotiator David Frost were “really in the crucial moment” as European governments warned that any deal agreed after Wednesday will come too late to be implemented on January 1st.
“We are giving it the final push. In 10 days, the UK will leave the single market and we continue to work in total transparency, with the member states right now and with the parliament,” he said.
Mr Barnier told a meeting of EU ambassadors in Brussels that the British offer on fish was unacceptable and that other issues, including level playing field guarantees of fair competition, were not fully resolved. Sources said he described as final the EU’s offer of returning to Britain 25 per cent of the value of the fish caught by European boats in British waters as final.
Britain has proposed that the EU sacrifices 35 per cent but the deal would exclude pelagic species such as mackerel, which are important to Irish fishermen. Mr Barnier told the ambassadors that excluding pelagic species meant that Britain was effectively demanding that the EU should give up 60 per cent of the value of the fish its boats caught in British waters.
If there is deal it would need to be a hard BREXIT indeed? To get it through the UK parliament.

South Africa Covid 19 virus said to be worse than the 2nd British one! News last night and children being hospitalised. Not looking good.
The UK has detected two cases of another "more transmissible" variant of coronavirus, the health secretary Matt Han**** says.
Both people had travelled to South Africa, where the variant has been linked to a surge in cases.
Travel restrictions with South Africa have been imposed.
Anyone who has travelled there in the past fortnight, and anyone they have been in contact with, are being told to quarantine immediately.
Mr Han**** said: "We are incredibly grateful to the South African government for the rigour of their science and the openness and the transparency with which they have rightly acted as we did when we discovered a new variant here."
At the same briefing, the health secretary announced millions more people were being moved to Tier 4 on Boxing Day .
The two recently identified variants - one found first in the UK and the South African variant - share some similarities but have evolved separately.
Both have a mutation - called N501Y - which is in a crucial part of the virus that it uses to infect the body's cells.
