The European Research Group (ERG) warned his party that it will face not just a heavy European election defeat but also a heavy general demolition in the near future. Speaking on ITV Peston, Mr Rees-Mogg warned that the Conservatives must appreciate the threat of Nigel Farage. The MP also warned that the party “wake up” to what is happening in British politics or they will face a heavy defeat in the next general election.
Mr Rees-Mogg said: “I think Nigel Farage is a quite remarkable politician.
“What he’s achieved with the Brexit Party in such a short period of time to get the Brexit Party ahead in the period of polls, shows how British politics has changed.
“The Conservatives must wake up to that.
“If they don’t, we are heading to a Canada style defeat in the next election.
