Kent Farmer Destroys Rees-Mogg’s Brexit Celebrations | #shorts

Jacob Rees-Mogg can’t defend his STUPID decision to DRAG this country OUT of the EU. What a dork Jacob Rees-Mogg is! A pukka accent a wise and clever man DOES NOT make!

Jacob Rees-Mogg's Hypocrisy Exposed

May 10, 2023 | This is grotesque: as Donald Trump was found guilty of sexually abusing a columnist, a GB News show hosted by Jacob Rees Mogg featured a panel composed exclusively of Trump apologists. This whole episode exposes the hypocrisy of right-wingers like Mogg - who grandstand on moral issues when it means opposing civil rights, but having no words of condemnation for the most morally corrupt figures of our time.

Jacob Rees-Mogg Suffers Epic Humiliation at the Hands of Human Rights Lawyer Geoffrey Robertson

Mar 30, 2023 | Jacob Rees-Mogg suffers an embarrassing defeat at the hands of human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson. Rees-Mogg is made to look silly, petty and clueless, all whilst maintaining a his customary veneer of misplaced smugness.

UK Government Finds Extra 1,400 Laws to Scrap under Rees-Mogg’s Brexit Bill

THE GUARDIAN: Discovery follows admission that previous list of 2,400 pieces of EU legislation was ‘not comprehensive’

Government researchers have found another 1,400 laws that will be wiped off the statute books next year by Brexit legislation tabled by Jacob Rees-Mogg in September, according to reports.

They are in addition to 2,400 laws ranging from environmental protections to workers’ rights and passenger compensation rules already identified by the former Brexit opportunities and business secretary.

The discovery adds further detail to an admission that a government dashboard listing the laws was “not comprehensive”. » | Lisa O'Carroll, Brexit correspondent | Tuesday, November 8, 2022

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a ridiculous character. He needs to be given a proper job of work to do. Something like digging the garden! He’s got too much time on his hands to think up hare-brained ideas. He should ask Nanny to talk some sense into him! She could make a start tonight: she could try and talk some sense into him instead of reading him a bedtime story when she tucks him in for the night.

This man is determined to turn the clocks back to the Victorian Age. He wants to take the rights away from the ‘little people’. The man would be laughable were he not to be so dangerous. – © Mark Alexander

Rees-Mogg’s Plans to Axe All EU Laws Will Cripple Whitehall, Says Leading Brexiter

THE OBSERVER: MP Theresa Villiers says proposal to axe thousands of laws is unworkable and unnecessary

One of the Tory party’s leading Brexit supporters has raised concerns about plans to scrap 2,400 EU laws by the end of next year – as fears grow that the policy will overwhelm the civil service and bring government to a virtual standstill.

Former environment secretary Theresa Villiers, who backed Brexit in 2016, told the Observer that the proposals would take up vast amounts of civil service time and would involve undoing legislation that, in many cases, was broadly popular and good for the country.

Other senior Tories are growing concerned that the EU retained law bill, championed by Jacob Rees-Mogg before Rishi Sunak sacked him on becoming prime minister, is in danger of becoming an ideological millstone. » | Helena Horton and Toby Helm | Sunday, November 6, 2022

Sunak May Deprioritise Rees-Mogg Brexit Bill to Switch Off 2,400 EU Laws

THE GUARDIAN: Prime minister is told hundreds of staff needed to review legislation

Rishi Sunak is considering deprioritising Jacob Rees Mogg’s controversial legislation to switch off 2,400 retained EU laws that cover everything from holiday pay rights to environmental protections and aircraft safety.

The new prime minister has been told it would take 400 staff in the business department alone to review 300 pieces of legislation that resulted from directives, decisions and EU rules over the past 50 years, the Financial Times reported.

According to a government website outlining the scope of the retained EU law (revocation and reform) bill, a further 570 laws would have to be reviewed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs before the deadline of the end of 2023.

Under the proposed legislation, which received its second reading in the House of Commons this week, all laws whether reviewed or not would be switched off by the government on 31 December 2023, placing a huge burden on the civil service. » | Lisa O'Carroll, Brexit correspondent | Thursday, 27 October 2022

Jacob Rees-Mogg Quits with Handwritten Letter Dated ‘St Crispin’s Day’

THE GUARDIAN: MP known as ‘honourable member for the 18th century’ asks Rishi Sunak to convey his resignation as business secretary to King

Jacob Rees-Mogg has submitted a typically old-fashioned resignation letter, in a last hurrah for the so-called honourable member for the 18th century.

The North East Somerset MP wrote his letter, resigning as business secretary, by hand and declined to share it on social media, in stark contrast with the typed resignation letters shared on Twitter by other MPs.

Rees-Mogg’s handwriting is so difficult to decipher that the Scottish newspaper the National has headlined an article: “We bet you can’t read Jacob Rees-Mogg’s handwritten resignation letter.”

In his characteristically anachronistic style, Rees-Mogg, a devoted Catholic, dated the letter “St Crispin’s Day”.

St Crispin’s Day is a feast day in the Christian calendar on 25 October, which takes its name from the saints Crispin and Crispinian, who were tortured and beheaded by the Roman emperor in AD286. » | Charlie Moloney | Tuesday, October 25, 2022

Rees-Mogg Lambasts Critics of EU Laws Bill after Quitting Government

THE GUARDIAN: Former business secretary tells opponents of bill they are fighting a Brexit battle all over again

The former business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg launched a scathing attack on opponents of legislation he has tabled to sweep away EU law, telling them they are fighting a Brexit battle all over again.

Rees-Mogg quit his role after Rishi Sunak became prime minister, and less than two hours later returned to the backbenches to see a stand-in, the business minister Dean Russell, opening the second reading of the retained EU law (revocation and reform) bill.

Rees-Mogg told MPs the proposals were aimed at “restoring parliamentary sovereignty” and helping remove rules and regulations that supposedly put business under pressure.

In an extraordinary backbench spat, he accused a fellow Conservative MP of never accepting the result of Brexit, leading Richard Graham to demand the former minister withdraw the “untrue” statement. » | Lisa O'Carroll, Brexit correspondent | Tuesday, October 25, 2022

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a disgrace! He is also a throwback from an earlier, less-enlightened age – the Victorian Age, maybe.

Brexit was a stupid idea from the very start. Voters were lied to about the benefits of leaving the European Union. There are no benefits. So they were duped; duped by insincere, backward-thinking fossils like JRM.

It is bad enough that we Brits have lost our European citizenship and all the rights that came with citizenship only to return to being a subject of the monarch. What a poor trade off that is!

Those 2,400 European laws to which JRM wishes to make a bonfire of are laws that were put in place for the protection of workers’ rights, consumers’ rights and laws put in place for the protection of the environment. It is a crying shame to take those protections away. Doing so will take us back to a far less enlightened time. Then, Brits will have to fight battles for better working conditions, for example, all over again – from scratch.

May I suggest that if JRM is looking for stuff to burn on a bonfire that he make, or have made, a spitting image of himself, rather like Guy Fawkes, and put that atop the bonfire and let it burn to a cinder! Such a bonfire would be replete with symbolism. But for heaven’s sake, leave those EU laws alone!

Oh, and by the way, ask Nanny to read you a soothing bedtime story tonight when she tucks you in. It sounds to me as if your nerves are frayed. – © Mark Alexander

Jacob Rees-Mogg and Brandon Lewis have resigned from the government as Rishi Sunak begins to assemble his new cabinet, with the prime minister also sacking Chloe Smith and Wendy Morton.

Sunak is expected to keep Jeremy Hunt as chancellor, at least for the short term, and return Suella Braverman to the cabinet, as well as handing new posts to key leadership allies Oliver Dowden, Mel Stride and Dominic Raab. » | Jessica Elgot, Pippa Crerar and Aubrey Allegretti | Tuesday, October 25, 2022

Rees-Mogg Move to Axe 2,400 Laws Is ‘Anti-democratic’, Say Legal Experts

THE GUARDIAN: Laws that could disappear include ban on animal testing, workers’ rights and environmental protections

Laws will be changed on 31 December 2023 ‘without any scrutiny at all’, says George Peretz KC.Photograph: James Hoathly/Alamy

Leading lawyers have sounded the alarm over Jacob Rees-Mogg’s proposals for post-Brexit legislation that could result in 2,400 laws disappearing overnight – including a ban on animal testing for cosmetics, workers’ rights and environmental protections.

Lawyers including one former UK government legal official who designed the concept of EU-retained law for Theresa May branded the move as “anti-democratic” and “completely barking”.

Swathes of laws including equal pay for men and women, pension rights for same-sex married couples, food standards and aviation safety rules could accidentally disappear or be redrafted poorly, they warn.

The retained EU law (revocation and reform) bill will get its second reading on Tuesday. It was designed in such a way that 47 years of laws devised during EU membership will be switched off on 31 December 2023 under a so-called sunset clause.

“A lot of laws are going to be changed without any scrutiny at all by a dying government that few people respect,” said George Peretz KC, a specialist in European law. » | Lisa O'Carroll Brexit correspondent | Monday, October 24, 2022

It is to be hoped that whoever becomes our next prime minister will kick this moron out of office. He is a danger to civilized society. JRM is nothing but a twerp. He shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the levers of power. – © Mark Alexander

Professor Tim Wilson: Rees-Mogg Would Be Better in Silence

Indeed I suspect that silent films were invented for Mogg! He is already sepia-toned and would be so much better with title cards and health warning.

Jacob Rees-Mogg Backs Liz Truss’s Claim UK Workers Need ‘More Graft’

THE GUARDIAN: Brexit opportunities minister says Tory leadership hopeful’s comments reflect Britain’s ‘poor productivity’

Jacob Rees-Mogg, a key ally of Liz Truss, has defended the Tory leadership frontrunner’s suggestion that British workers need “more graft” as “sensible”.

Rees-Mogg, the Brexit opportunities minister, told the Mail on Sunday that her comments reflected “poor productivity in the British economy”.

He said they “attracted confected political criticism but they reflect an unfortunate reality in much of the British state”, adding: “This is not good for the government, or for the public as a whole.”

Rees-Mogg has been tipped for a cabinet position in a Truss government – perhaps as levelling up or trade secretary. » | Rowena Mason, Deputy political editor | Sunday, August 21, 2022

Rees-Mogg’s comments are an affront to hard-working Britons. Tell us, Jacob, how much graft have you ever done in your life? By the looks of you, NONE!

I would therefore advise you to be very careful with your utterances regarding the hard work, or otherwise, of British workers. Most British workers I have ever met have been extremely hard-working indeed. Moreover, I feel quite sure that many of them would consider you to be effete and even, perhaps, a ponce.

Jacob Rees-Mogg: I Was Wrong to Say Brexit Would Not Cause Dover Delays

THE GUARDIAN: Minister blames France for recent problems and suggests Britons might go to Portugal instead

Jacob Rees-Mogg has admitted he was wrong to say there would be no delays at the port of Dover caused by the UK leaving the EU.

But the Brexit opportunities minister maintained the government line that the French, not Brexit, had caused the recent delays, in a radio interview on Tuesday.

LBC radio replayed a claim from 2018 when he insisted “there will be no need for checks at Dover” and he was clear that “the delays will not be at Dover, they will be at Calais”.

Rees-Mogg blamed Paris for the “French-created delays” witnessed recently before he was asked if he would apologise for getting it wrong. » | Lisa O'Carroll, Brexit correspondent | Tuesday, August 2, 2022

Jacob Rees-Mogg Dismisses Calls for PM to Leave Downing Street

Jul 5, 2022 Jacob Rees-Mogg has dismissed calls for the Prime Minister to resign following the resignations of his Chancellor and Health Secretary.


Jake is such a man of the people, don’t ya think? I wonder how many plums he had for breakfast yesterday before this interview?

It’s hard to believe that his recent family ancestry is Welsh. They were dairy folk who went to London to make a bob or two, to improve the family fortunes. Didn’t they do well?

He's doing his level best to return us to the Victorian era. He is anti-abortion, even after rape, and anti-gay marriage, naturally. They weren’t into gay marriage in the Victorian era. Gosh! The man is such a fossil.

Check out these articles to get to know this fossil a little better:

Jacob Rees-Mogg: PM Would Stay On 'Even If He Won by Only One Vote'

Jun 6, 2022 • Brexit Opportunities Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has told Sky News that it would be enough for the Prime Minister to win by one vote this evening.

"If you've won by one, you've won," he said.

Asked about booing at St Paul's Cathedral, he added: "A little bit of booing, a little bit of cheering that is perfectly normal."
