The ERG has roughly 80 supporters. Despite some defections around the edges, this looks at first glance like a pretty unified ERG vote – since some of the 39 Conservative “defectors” are not associated with the group.
But please note that at least eleven of the rebels were Remainers, not Leavers: Guto Bebb, Damian Collins, Charlie Elphicke, Michael Fallon, Justine Greening, Dominic Grieve, Sam Gyimah, Jo Johnson, Phillip Lee, Grant Shapps and Shailesh Vara. Bebb, Collins, Greening, Grieve, Gyimah and Johnson Lee are Second Referendum supporters.
We have used Mark Harper’s photo for this piece because the former Chief Whip is an important centre-right bellweather. He set out his reasoning earlier today.
