Why doesn't anyone in the media point out the obvious abou this odious man, he doesn't want to be Prime Minister, he doesn't want political power, he just wants to cause economic chaos so he and his clients can profit from the ensuing chaos. He and his mates have all the cash and would love a recession so as to pick up assets dirt cheap.
The first thing he did after the referendum was open up an office in Ireland, hedging his bets so he can have his cake and eat it. Showing no honour or integrity and insulting the electorate wether they voted remain or leave. He doesn't care about manufacturing, jobs, services, (other than serving himself) or the country in general. Although he dresses in Josef Goebbals suit and is just an arm band short of the full sieg heil, this is just an (albeit unpleasant) distraction. He's nothing more than a right wing anarchist.
He's calling for TMs head even though she survived the vote. He doesn't like the outcome so do your best to usurp the result unless of course the vote comes out your way then all votes are sacrosanct.
May would gain some respect from me if she punted him for the party.
They’d have to have proof, else be sued.
I can’t help but wonder if all he’s actually doing is unintentionally drumming up sympathy for May amongst the centre and left.

Isn't that what every remainer is doing?
But yes, odious little man. The kind that will always point out your mistakes but never put their own nose above the parapet.
Does he deserve a thread ?
Should he not be just be cast into history as a odious turd ?
Can't decide whether 'mewling pencil' or 'whinnying ponce' is my favourite description of him.

I'm favouring "Right Honourable Minister for the Nineteenth Century" myself.
Brexit is the least of his sins, look at his voting record. Anti gay marriage, pro fox hunting, anti abortion, even in cases of rape, all because it disagrees with his Catholic believes. Funny how starving poor people to death doesn't contradict his religious faith.
Isn’t that what every remainer is doing?
Absolutely not. I’m a remainer but I can’t say there’s anyone out there massively suited to the impossible job of negotiating Brexit. How do we know anyone else would do a better job than May?
PS - where is the post preview button? 🧐😄
I find him odious as well. And even though I hate the Tories, I hate destructive, traitorous even more, and his treatment of his leader is despicable.
I especially love the hypocrisy of calling Remainers “Remoaners” for “not respecting the result”, and then insisting that TM should go and that her position was untenable even though she won over 60% of the party’s support.
I fully expected Emily Maitless (newsnight last night) to sign off her interview by bitch slapping him with the back of her hand then hoofing him in the nuts. I’d pay my licence fee to watch that 👍
I thought this was about George Lynch.... Disappointed
My MiL lives in Somerset in the neighbouring constituency to JRM. When the Brexit referendum was on, she didn't really understand all the issues so went to a hustings (so some credit there) where JRM spoke for Leave, and Paddy Ashdown spoke for Remain.
Apparently he gave a really good speech, and it was that rather than the content that swung it (Paddy also gave a good speech but he's a bit of a womaniser so can't be trusted)
I pointed out some of JRM's voting record in counter to Paddy's affair, but apparently that's worse than being a racist homophobe.
I also pointed out that Hitler gave very good speeches, if you ignored the content.
We don't discuss politics any more.
Some people you would never tire of slapping.
Also having a spot of bother with the Beano
JRM is a twunt of the highest order but what really scares me is his oversized double breasted suits

That's been a problem all along for those of us who see through him. His manner is very refined, and his old-world style when speaking wins many over. It makes people forget he's a shit.
His mask slipper the other day, though, when Femi - the law graduate who has dedicated himself to fighting Brexit - tried to challenge JRM in public. First of all, Femi's black, and it looked an awful lot like JRM was ignoring him as Femi tried to ask him a question. Then when he finally called out his question, JRM responded by saying something like "I can't understand you. You're talking too quickly." And after that, JRM simply paid him no more attention.
Astounding behaviour for a man who builds his image on being the consomethinge civil interlocutor.

All part of the affect, innit? Hell, even his age is affected. He's only a year older than me!
He’s only a year
older than me!younger than Kylie Minogue...
I've just realised that he has the same initials as me, but in a different order.
I feel a bit dirty.
He does seem to be in the wrong party, he should be in UKIP.
But he's also rediculously rich, which is conductive to staying in the Conservatives.
I think he's well to the right of UKIP, showing my age here but I think he would have been the ideal National Front leader.
Some idiot on the news last night was saying that he has a reputation for being decent and chivalrous! No he bloody doesn't, you're mistaking that for a posh accent.
Any man that self confesses to have never having had to change his children's nappies is not really a man.
A wizards sleeve of the highest order.
By all accounts he’s a very diligent and extremely responsive constituency MP - or at least that’s been the experience of my extended family who are both labour and Tory voters and have asked for his help on a range of matters.
On the point of “The first thing he did after the referendum was open up an office in Ireland” - this is completely untrue.
He has no control of Somerset Capital / involvement in the day to day decision making and furthermore you’d struggle to find most investment firms not having a legal entity in Ireland. As I recall it, Somerset Capital opened a new investment fund in Ireland - so an Irish legal entity would be a precursor to doing this.
I agree that he’s stuck in a time warp though.
decent and chivalrous!
Dagger and cloak more like.
When quizzed if rape victims would be forced to bear their attackers child, his response was ‘I’m afraid so.’ Many mugs commenters were saying what a nice, polite response it was.
I can’t think of many more objectionable shits...
The Tony Benn of the right.
I think he may actually be a lizard.

They've obviously not seen the painting in his attic.
Come the Revolution/Coup he’ll be running the Secret Police

What makes you think he’ll be on the side doing the policing?
He gets away with things that others wouldn't.
On the night that May survived the 'no confidence' vote he was asked squarely if the result was a reflection of what amounted to a lack of influence the ERG actually had within the Conservative Party, and whether he/they would, essentially, just get back into their box.
An interesting question.
He started his answer by saying 'you're missing the point, the point is...' and then rattled off his 'well they're all in the pay of the Government' line, 'they've lost the support of the backbenchers' etc. An interesting point, but not exactly an answer to the question.
Was he pulled up on it? He was not.
If Jacob Rees Mogg is elected by the Conservative Party as the Prime Minister of our country without subsequently asking the general electorate to give him their backing, i will consider it a declaration of war alike to Charles I raising the Royal Standard in Nottingham.
Everyone should spend 10 minutes researching JRM's father's work, just for context. Then keep it in mind whenever they hear/read the words of the son.
He's a real playa.
edit: jesus, that pic is HUGE. apologies for excess Rees-Mob.

Seems like I will get slated for this but I think he's alright . He speaks a lot of sense and actually tries to answer questions that are asked of him rather than just waffle on and change the subject like most politicians. He has staunch Catholic beliefs but is prepared to accept that sometimes you have to accept that you are outnumbered and go with the flow .

You what????? Give us some examples, he might speak after a question is asked but most of it is BS

What by voting against bills.
He lost, he needs to get over it and **** off

Go on then, I'll bite. Give some examples of the sense he speaks.
He has staunch Catholic beliefs
Love thy neighbour? Live and let live?

Along the same lines, I think Ramsay Bolton is alright. He speaks a lot of sense. Sure he perpetrated a number of indescribable atrocities against his enemies - and close family - but he genuinely cared about his dogs and you knew exactly what you were getting, which was refreshing. He has obvious psychopathic tendencies, but when restrained with chains he is prepared to accept that sometimes you have to accept you are outnumbered and be eaten by dogs.
The Honorable Member for the East India Company is a dangerous man.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn he's a non-fiction Blofeld.

Is this a euphemism?
Anyone who thinks he doesn't control the investment trusts and didn't start the Irish fund to take advantage of brexit is hopelessly gullible
One of a select few people who if he died tomorrow id open a beer in celebration..
Odious individual..
Bored of Netflix one evening and having watched everything good on BBC4 I decided to see what the Parliament channel had to offer and came across a series of lectures given at Speakers House, including this one given by Jacob Rees Mogg on the 13th of June.
I don't like Mogg. I think he's dangerously ideological, too clever for his own good and smug with it. He happens to be MP for where I grew up and if I still lived there I would be giving him so much grief, but I've never actually listened to him so I thought I'd see what he has to say about Brexit, which basically boils down to there's a whole world of nations out there that aren't doing particularly well and we should be doing business with them. He spoke a lot about Brexit being good for the poorer members of our society but I'll assume he's not actually that bothered.
I had trouble early on though when he was laying out his three views of how Brexit might go. I can't find a transcript online but this is what he said about those people wanting to stay closely aligned with Europe:
'"I'm sticking to you because you're made out of glue". I think this was an advert for Hyundai. Actually I'd completely forgotten but one of my assistants kindly looked up that it was an advert for Hyundai in 2002.'
Two points. Firstly, yes it was, but the line is taken from a Velvet Underground song. The advert doesn't appear to be online anywhere but you can find references to it here and here. If you're going to cite sources, do it right, and if that's the quality of research that can be expected from Mogg's team then we can add lazy and ignorant to the list.
Secondly,the line is "I'm sticking with you because I'm made out of glue". Very different, and in changing it he makes Europe sound controlling and domineering whereas the song is about loyalty and devotion, but this is the Tories we're talking about who are currently fighting like rats in a sack which would be fun if we weren't all in there with them.
(Also, how are the implications of his religious beliefs any different from Tim Farron's, who got hammered for them?)

Potential Lib Dem voters more likely than Tories to be put off by a God-bothering homophobic asshat?
Is this a euphemism?
Nope. A reference to Wilde's [I]Picture of Dorian Gray[/I]
As far as faith goes, Farron was more honest that Rees-Mogg is, in that he resigned when he felt the conflict between his 'legistlative' life and his religious life. It makes you wonder what Rees-Mogg would if he ever did get elected to lead the Tories.

A tory party under him would just be UKIP for posh people.
As I said on the other thread it would be amazing viewing to see him running a proper brexie weathersppons and dealing with all the people in there. Kind of an I'm a celebrity with no pension plan
WARNING: I followed a Google News link to the DM, in which JRM is discussed.
I won't link to it, but there is an article in the DM today about JRM, surprising for how insightful it is. Written by Dominic Sandbrook, it dissects JRM's persona and behaviour, and shows the reader what he really is. Worth the read if you can bring yourself to go there...

Alien autopsy?,
I think we're all well aware what he really is.
Care to give us a synopsis then I don't have to sully myself reading that shitrag's website?
Interesting conflation of "staunch Catholic beliefs" and "speaking sense", there...
I tend to get suspicious whenever the word "staunch" gets used.
Being a Catholic didn't make him a complete twunt. He's just a twunt with convenient religious or ideological excuses for his acts of advanced ****hattery.
As far as faith goes, Farron was more honest that Rees-Mogg is, in that he resigned when he felt the conflict between his ‘legistlative’ life and his religious life.
This is rubbish. First Farron resigned from the leadership when he came to the conclusion his faith was incompatible with leading with Liberals, because essentially there are not many Liberals in the party. It had nothing to do with his legislative life as he is still an MP and therefore legislator. His decision was no doubt informed by the fact that he felt the need to give a misleading answer when responding to a shabby line of questioning. I have no problem with Farron, I think he comes out of it well, the same can not be said for many in his party.
This can be compared with JRM who when asked about a subject where his views are very narrowly shared, he did not try and mislead, he did not dissasembble, he confirmed he thought abortion was wrong even in the case of rape. It is difficult to see how this can possibly be less honest than what Farron did.
His voting record speaks volumes

The man is scum
Being a Catholic didn’t make him a complete twunt.
No but as they say it sure does help.
How does his staunch catholicism align with his enthusiasm for blowing up foreigners? (and yet dislike of improving the military covenant?) His desire to punish the poor and especially the unwell and disabled? His religion comes and goes depending on how he feels on the subject himself.
And let's not forget, in this time of austerity, where working people and their children are starving, he took £7,500,000 of tax payers money, to do up his countru estate.
The least he could do after all that money was spent, would be to let a few homeless people believe there.

You are absolutely right. Inconsistency and hypocrisy.
I have mentioned it before, but the great Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau, was a devout Catholic, but no one knew until his funeral. This is because he believed that his faith could and should in no way be imposed on people through legislation to the extent that he drove the eradication of laws against homosexuality, and introduced the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as an intrinsic part of the Canadian Constitution.
His best quote? "The State has no business in the bedrooms of the Nation".
Friend of mine was in the same college as him at Cambridge. He was as odious back then as he is now, apparently.
Unfortunately he is my local MP. Anyone who thinks he is a diligent constituency MP has obviously only ever seen issues presented to him that conform to his own interests. He is entirely useless if presented with anything outside of this.
I suggest that those who still think he's OK go and have a look at his voting record. I'm not particularly partisan with politics, so I thought I'd initially give him the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately he has an astounding ability to vote, with relentless consistency, in the opposite way to any decent person, regardless of their political persuasion.
JP
Jacob Rees-Mogg = Jake the Snake.
I don’t know how someone’s mate above was at Cambridge with him. It must have been another jrm.
The jrm at Oxford was young and obnoxious. But he wasn’t alone in that.
My mistake - it was Trinity College.
JP
I agree with Bob.
The man is scum. A bottom feeder of the lowest order.
He sums up all that can be bad in humanity with not one saving grace. Not one.
Utter walking garbage.
Seems like Wikipedia has it spot on:

It's all ok though, as long as you go to confession on a Friday and do the set penance.
It’s all ok though, as long as you go to confession on a Friday and do the set penance.
I doubt he sees his political behaviour as contrary to his professed faith, and therefore that it takes up much of his time when making confession. In any case, I know you’re being sarcastic, but it doesn’t quite work like that.
I think a lot of you don't really understand Catholicism. Confession is not there to absolve you of being a numpty, nor does it give you a blank canvas to cover your sins. Theoretically it only works if you really want to repent. I'm not sure that the Moggster ever thinks that what he is doing is wrong in any way, shape or form.
Hes just a blight on humanity. Can we crowdfund a trip to Dignitas for him?
This thread needs less odious turd and more a celebration of a Metal Band with the same name.
I’m not too sure anyone in the band is called Jacob, in fact I’d lay bets that there probably isn’t .
This ^..........then drag his carcass outside for the crows and rats to finish off. ****in odious creep.
I think Teresa May and the Remainers could more readily be compared with Charles I, than JRM. In that context JRM is more like John Hamden, standing against the establishment’s determined attempts to thwart the will of the majority.
I don’t like him but I think a lot of what JRM says is right.
So whoever said he said good stuff and he thought he was alright has failed to present any evidence of that. How strange....
Can someone please give an example of something he says being right?
I've tried to keep an open mind but his voting record genuinely disgusts me. And that is before I even start to think about Brexit.
To put it another way, Charles I came to grief because he defied the will of the people. He did the same as the establishment are trying to do now to the majority who voted for Britain to exit the EU.
JRM, odious or not, is trying to fight the corner of that majority against the establishment who are trying to ensure the majority don’t get what they voted for.
The analogy made several posts back that JRM was like Charles I is made in error, and shows an ignorance of history.
JRM is saying we should leave the EU. That is what the majority of UK voters said in 2016. The majority think he is right.
Simple!
JRM is saying we should leave the EU. That is what the majority of UK voters said in 2016. The majority think he is right.
Theresa May wished to propose a vote in parliament which would have brought about Brexit as per the 2016 referendum result. Mogg's is one of the main voices pushing the view that May should not get this deal through parliament.
Also, don't whine about bringing back control of affairs to the UK parliament and then refer to it as an establishment if it does things you don't like.
