Rees-Mogg Tells Young Tories He Wants to ‘Build a Wall in the English Channel’
THE GUARDIAN: Ex-cabinet minister reiterates backing for Donald Trump and claims ‘Biden doesn’t like Britain’ in leaked recording
Jacob Rees-Mogg has said he wants to “build a wall in the English Channel” in a leaked recording, in which he heaped praise on Donald Trump and the hardline Republican response to immigration.
Speaking to young Conservative activists, Rees-Mogg doubled down on his backing for the former US president, saying he took the right approach by building a border wall.
“If I were American I’d want the border closed, I’d be all in favour of building a wall. I’d want to build a wall in the middle of the English Channel,” the former cabinet minister said.
Rees-Mogg is fighting a strong Labour challenge in his North East Somersetand Hanham constituency against Dan Norris, the mayor of the West of England, who was previously MP in the seat until he was defeated by Rees-Mogg in 2010. Rees-Mogg, a popular figure among Tory party members, is likely to be influential in the Conservative leadership race if he retains his seat. Support for Trump’s White House bid is a sharp divider within the party between the right and the centrist One Nation group. » | Jessica Elgot, Deputy political editor | Tuesday, July 2, 2024

Jacob Rees-Mogg Tells Young Tories Party Has ‘Lost Its Way’
THE GUARDIAN: Exclusive: Leaked recording of ex-minister lays bare despondency at high levels of Conservative party
A screenshot from this article in today's Guardian.
The Conservatives have lost their way after 14 years in government, Jacob Rees-Mogg has said, in a leaked recording of a meeting with young Tories that lays bare the despondency at high levels of the party.
The former business secretary told young activists at a meeting in March he felt the party had squandered its opportunity to achieve anything substantial in the last five years, having won a majority in 2019. » | Kiran Stacey Political correspondent | Sunday, June 30, 2024

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

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
