The ERG has been playing for No Deal because they think that’s the best outcome and because they thought it was achievable.

They still think it’s the best outcome, but now they know it’s not achievable. Mogg is correct to say that Brexit is a process, not an event. The single most important thing we can do right now is to regain sovereign control over everything we have surrendered to the acquis over the last 40 years. Certain actions may continue to be limited on our part by treaty, but bilateral treaties that can be renegotiated or terminated in the national interest are an entirely different proposition than the acquis communautaire, which all member states are obliged to accept in its entirety without possibility of withdrawing from bits of it.
