JRM's first attempt at winning a seat came a few miles from where I stay. It was a working class area with drug problems and he decided to take his nanny to canvas with him, he certainly sounds like a man in touch with the worldCrazy

I was thinking today about the absolutely shocking judgement from any member of our government who spoke out against trump before the election.

there was next to nothing to be gained from a glib remark and everything to lose, particularly given how thin trump's skin is.

apparently May's government is keen to meet before the inauguration; it only took nigel 4 days, but they don't want his help. Seems a little foolish.

he was.

however

(P(trump win) * damage through insult) < (P(trump loss) * value of cheap gag), probably only works when you price trump at over 500000-1.

Jacob Rees Mogg is happily married, a father of five, and has forged a successful career.

To some on here, however, just because he also went to Eton and is eloquently spoken he must be "a freak, a weirdo or somebody who likely visits places of ill-repute to be thrashed."  I would suggest those who hold such views might need to reflect upon their own levels of moral rectitude before criticising a fellow of Mr Rees Mogg's class.

On the contrary, Dixie, he is exactly what 21st century politics needs, a man of intelligence, honesty and integrity.

Here's a genuine question for those who belittle JRM's abilities as a parliamentarian.

Name three who are better.

Nigel Farage, Nigel Farage and Nigel Farage.  European parliamentarian.

And soon to be our next king, when Elizabeth retires.

God bless him.

“Tony Blair adopted the accent of the audience he was speaking to, which worked very well initially, but then voters began to perceive him as phoney,” he says. “The 'man of the people’ act is the height of condescension.”

Can you not read anxious?

“Tony Blair adopted the accent of the audience he was speaking to, which worked very well initially, but then voters began to perceive him as phoney,” he says. “The 'man of the people’ act is the height of condescension.”


He would never choose to be a 'man of the people', he is sincere enough to state that it is a phoney approach.

You obviously do give a flying fig, or else why would you stretch the truth about him?

Come on admit it anxious, you like him really.

I don't think Mogg has ever tried to downplay his posh background.
He seems an intelligent nice enough guy.
Unlike Anxious who comes across as an incredibly bitter angry uneducated chippy inverse-snob failure of a man, everything he posts seems to drip with seethe...

After Boris Johnson and Andrea Leadsom (yes remember her) having just seen populist Trump take the crown. I bet you they are regretting it that they've choked on their chance on power.



Hard to disagree with you on that one.

Bitter about what exactly ? just because I disagree with your political views which are a mixture of David Duke and Eugene Terrenblanche.

i can undo 57 different knots but cant undo a girls bra clasp,

think mr mogg might fall into this group

probably 95% of his excellent education is probably worse than useless in the working world

We will suffocate if we hold our breath waiting for a capable politician with experience of the working world.
