Open Tory civil war in Brexit select committee

Conservative party politicians descended into open warfare during a spicy select committee on Rishi Sunak's key Brexit policy. A group of MPs, stalwarts of the Eurosceptic ERG and Boris Johnson loyalists, Jacob Rees-Mogg, James Duddridge, Mark Francois, and Bill Cash clashed with chair Mark Pritchard over the Windsor Framework. The troublemakers allege that the select committee's membership has been gerrymandered to eliminate dissent from those opposed to checks on goods entering Northern Ireland from mainland Great Britain. Mark Francois called the government "bent," all while minister Victoria Atkins sat silent, visibly fuming. The committee was interrupted by votes requiring the attendance of MPs elsewhere in parliament, before its main business could begin, because of the number of points of order.
