The ERG are still not happy, in fact they are a bunch of blackmailers; each time they get something, they want something else on top.

According to several senior MPs on the 70-strong European Research Group (ERG), its membership is evenly divided between those who say they will “suck it up”and vote for a deal even if the prime minister has to give some ground, and those who would be prepared to rebel and withhold support in protest if he moves from his current hardline positions.

The ERG has drawn criticism for its lack of transparency regarding its use of public funds to carry out research.

ERG is basically like Hitler creating Jewish Research Institute

Prawn cocktail flavour crisps and disaster capitalism.

Ideally Tory Scum want to suck in Labour into supporting the "deal", so having a group of "radical Tory Scum" like ERG would put pressure on Labour
