Jacob Rees Mogg

[pastafarian]

I wonder is there a politician in recent times that can rival Mogg and his astounding knowledge of parliamentary procedure and has also managed to easily explain such procedures to the general public like he is capable of.
The last guy i remember that had this gift was Tony Benn.
It seems he is now the go to guy for the major news channels on procedure.
Is he the Brian cox of politics?
he is fast becoming one of my fav MP`s alongside Dennis Skinner and Hilary Benn as cracking assets to our parliament, someone that crosses the divide and gains respect from all sides.

any other moggers?

[Notters]

He's also the poshest man in the universe.

that is a good call

it is impossible to find anyone posher than him.....
possibly Noel Coward whilst filming in which we serve.....but certainly no one in the current age

This is the man who complained that he was being ridiculed for being accompanied by his nanny whilst out canvassing.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

As he's a vocal opponent of same-sex marriages and keen supporter of zero hours contracts I oppose him.

You could have paid £5000 to have tea with them - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...000-Brexit-campaign-auctioning-tea-NANNY.html

He's still very found of his nanny.

He's also the poshest man in the universe.

And the politest which gets my respect. A real antidote to Trump style politics. Count me out though I'm afraid (much as I think he seems a nice fella).

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Is he actually human?

Despite his poshness he appears to be able to cross the class boundaries with his ability to talk common sense & explain complex things in simple terms & language. A good egg in my book

Here, I've corrected you.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Son of Lord Rees-Mogg.
Went to Eton
Went to Oxford and became president of the Oxford University Conservative Association
Worked in the City
Successfully became an MP unlike his sister Annunziata
Supports zero hours contracts
Says he's 'not proud' of gay marriage being made legal

It's a 'no' from me.

 

[mothy]

Here, I've corrected you.

He sounds patronising because he's posh

 

[Bulldog]

He claims that he often gets called the honourable member for the 17th century, and that's from his friends!

 

[Soulman]

I like him.

 

[Aaron31]

I hugely disagree with his politics and desire to leave the EU etc but he was definitely a laugh when he met Ali-G. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szGxq3pvJPQ

What have you got against the first 5 in that list?

Lots.

Lots.

Shame.

Shame.

Would Jacob Rees-Mogg be exactly where he is now and had the life he's enjoyed, had he been born in the same town as me, with a father working the same profession mine did, gone to the same school as me, and ended up as President of the Oxford University Conservative Association, worked in the city, founded his own investment firm and ended up in Westminster as part of the elite? I think not.
