Brexiteer reveals eu weak point uk must 'slam down on' to get brexit

British MEP Steven Woolfe joined a group of growing critics of the proposed Brexit withdrawal deal Theresa May unveiled earlier this week. Brexiteers have expressed their dissent with the

plan arguing it would leave the UK under the clutches of the European Union. Several Tory MPs have moved forward with lodging no-confidence letters with the chair of the backbenchers'

1922 Committee, threatening to trigger a vote of no-confidence in the Prime Minister.  Mr Woolfe however insisted Britain could still seek an alternative solution to the one Mrs May agreed

to with Brussels – suggesting British negotiators exploit a "vulnerable" point in the structure of the union. In a press release outlining his proposal, the British MEP said:

"The EU Project has a vulnerable point. It is one Mrs May’s negotiators never had the nerve to hit. "New negotiators ought to slam down on it, hard: it is that the eurozone economy

remains in perpetual weakness and the euro currency remains dangerously vulnerable." The independent politician argued the eurozone has "never been repaired" since the 2012

crisis of the eurozone – during which several member states, including Greece and Portugal, failed to repay government debt or bail out at-risk banks.  Mr Woolfe claimed threatening a no

deal scenario could "frighten" Brussels enough to renounce some of the concessions suggested in the draft Brexit withdrawal agreement. He continued: "If Britain goes out of

the EU with no deal, that could be the loud bang that would set off a euro-crushing avalanche on the Continent. "Letting the EU know that we really are prepared to leave with no deal

would frighten the lot of them." He added: "This is not something I would ever have advocated at the start of negotiations. But we have been so badly misled by Mrs May’s

negotiators that we have little time and just this one option: go with the World Trade Organisation bare-bones system and bear the temporary pain. "There is no alternative except

surrendering back to an ever-more powerful EU. "This will be a tough and complicated exit, but only for a few months. The surprise for the Europeans is that it is going to be tough and

complicated for them, too, until they are willing to deal. "The price is worth it. We will keep our United Kingdom independent." At least 20 Tory MPs have been reported to have

delivered their no-confidence letter to the 1922 Committee's chairman Sir Graham Brady. Among the ones openly announcing their discontent were European Research Group (ERG) leader Jacob

Rees-Mogg, former Brexit minister Steve Baker, Andrea Jenkyns and Nadine Dorries. After 48 letters are submitted to the 1922 Committee then a vote can be held as soon as reasonably

possible. The last no-confidence vote against a Conservative MP was when the party was in opposition in 2003.
