Chairman of the ERG Steve Baker - who voted against Theresa May's Brexit deal three times - says the government's latest Brexit proposals "have a chance" and could result in a deal he "could proudly vote for".
The Conservative MP says the government will not ask for an extension beyond the 31 October Brexit deadline, even if it were to get the deal passed.
Mr Baker tells Emma Barnett that having had conversations with ministers, he is "clear" they have a way to legally leave the EU without a deal, despite the Benn Act which forces the government to ask for an extension to the Brexit deadline.
Under the law - designed to stop Boris Johnson pushing through a no-deal Brexit on 31 October - the prime minister is required to request a three-month Brexit delay by 19 October.
