Jacob Rees Mogg.

Jacob Rees-Mogg: My nanny made me the man I am 

has the no 1 priority to be pm went to eton, but does seem to talk sense,but i fear he,d have people on benefits begging for their bowl of groul

And if they can't spell gruel, they ain't getting any.

An Eton education is to be admired in my view, despite the snide and jealous attitude towards it taken by certain quarters of the media.

Theresa May's comments regarding Donald Trump were not only wrong, they displayed extremely poor judgement.  Hopefully it's an error for which she can quickly make amends in the coming months.

JRM probably has more common sense and intelligence than any other MP and would make an excellent prime minister.


Couldn't agree more...how that aging Goth snook into Number 10 is beyond me.

@casement,"My nanny made me the man I am"...

casemoney

Him and his father a pair of horrible tory Barstewards

J.R.Mogg time traveller from HG Wells' time.

Nothing wrong with insulting foreign politicians. What's the worst that can happen?

In the House of Commons, Rees-Mogg has gained a reputation for his humorous speeches and ability to filibuster.

The ConservativeHome blog rates Rees-Mogg as one of the Conservatives' most rebellious MPs.

Must agree with Poker.

JRM is a man of judgement. Common sense personified. Most probably far too wise to seek high office though.

Those in power should seek his counsel and have ears to hear..

In a bid to be the general overseer of 60+ million people, I'd rate the bloke as understanding less (and having in common) less about them than possibly anyone else in the entire Westminster bubble.
He is a man of politics and very little else.

He knew the price of a pint of milk, loaf of bread and a first class stamp when questioned.  Common knowledge that appears to have escaped many members of parliament whatever their political affiliation.

Ahh the old 'he didn't go to some crummy comprehensive so he has nothing in common with me' line.

I couldn't give a toss about schooling. I look for judgement.

JRM warned about Osbourne's rhetoric and was right. Ozzie sacked. He warned about Brexit. Cameron resigns. He called for neutrality regarding the American election. He was spot on.

Jacob Rees Mogg is a man of rare integrity within Westminster.

Despite his upbringing he does have the common touch in my view.  I'm as common as they come and his beliefs resonate with me, a fine politician amongst mediocrity.

Who can forget Ed Miliband estimating an average family's weekly grocery bill at £70 or Nick Clegg guessing the state pension to be £30?

Men of the people (or potentially good leaders) they are not.

Me. I can forget apparently.
Therefore I stand (marginally) corrected.
There's loads of them, not just JRM.

btw
Where did anybody bemoan his lack of comprehensive schooling?
I must have missed a post.

I would never have thought it about you being 'common' Pokermonster

You origins may be common but to me you have always seemed to be 'posh'.  You are polite, erudite and polite to all on here.

Ooops, one too many 'polite' 

two too many

Well thank you, Annie!  Much obliged, ma'am.  :)

I can't honestly claim to have always remained polite on Chit Chat, but it always struck me that those who lose their cool, resorting to invective or abusive name-calling, tend to come across as childish.

Not too bad tonight, STUDYFORM, I have only had about two glassed of red wine.  But hey the night is young

Jacob Rees Mogg is certainly a breath of fresh air.

His polite roasting of Mark Carney at the Treasury Committee regarding the doomsday Brexit predictions fro Carney, was simply a masterclass.

He would make a sublime PM.

Pre Menstrual

Amazing how the left react to someone who is posh and eloquent, strange behaviour.  It means they are reacting to his race rather than his output.

He's a multi millionaire who may as well be on a different planet as far as the majority of the people in this country are concerned.

.....His career as an investor began early; indeed, one might say he was something of a prodigy. At the age when most boys are playing cricket or football, Rees-Mogg was playing the stock market. ‘I was left £50 when I was ten by a fairly distant cousin, which my father invested in GEC shares on my behalf,’ he says. ‘I became interested in the market and was given some more shares by my father, which is when I began looking to see how the shares were performing and learning how to read company reports, balance sheets and so on in order to gauge that.’ That’s unusual enough, but what happened next was truly remarkable. ‘I had these GEC shares and went to a shareholders’ meeting,’ he says. ‘I’d been looking over the company report and thought the dividend was too low, so I voted against it. Then I went to the Lonhro AGM when it was going to buy the Observer. I thought this was a bad idea, so asked a question at the end.’ He was 12 at the time. It is was as a result of this intervention that Rees-Mogg was photographed at home reading the Financial Times, a typewriter in front of him and a teddy bear behind. .....


This is all you need to know really. Yeh this chinless, silver spoon fed freak absolutely has the CV to be a Tory PM.

He is a magnificent fellow.

The post by Facts, above, requires no criticism.  The content alone is a damning enough indictment of its author.

I find it telling that Facts ridicules Jacob Rees Mogg's early career as a precocious teenager playing the stock market, resorting to the childish abuse of calling him a "chinless, silver spoon-fed freak" amongst other things, yet applauds the actions of shadow chancellor, John McDonnell.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't ever recall a young Jacob advocating the murder of British citizens, honouring those who actually committed such heinous acts of brutality, or contending those in parliament only heeded to "bullets and bombs."

Facts is typical of libmorons ...

Shout out anybody who's not one of them.

No analysis, just bile.

And are you still wondering how the Brexit vote happened, how Trump won?

My advice - take off the blinkers, listen, analyse.  Then draw conclusions.
HTH

Yes that is all very well but you must have sympathy for Facts - he has many refugee mouths to feed - it must be very stressful

The content alone is a damning enough indictment of its author.

Any post driven by spite and anger will do that.

Yet spite and anger is what political commentators on the left are all about.

Take that from them and they wouldn't know where to start.

Jacob Rees Mogg is English,hardly surprising that Facts hates him.

Facts is consistent in his contempt for the English,his idea of ideal citizens are those gentlemen in Calais masquerading as children.

I don't agree with his ideas so to Facts he is a FREAK - funny old debating style. What what? Old chap.  Toodle Pip.
If he wants to check out freaky he needs to look at some of the people on the same side of the fence as him(Facts that is) check out one of his 'tribe' - monisha - and what she wishes on america 'freaks'

He backed trump
dumped trump
now backing him again


Like Chamberlain Eden and Cameron before him...We don't want another aloof public schoolboy with the events overtaking him, my dear boy.

JRM uses the longest ever word (29 letters) in a parliamentary debate:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmXQOJhd0_0

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 world

Yeh right

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.

Too posh, way too posh.

Right wierdo,repressed probably visits one of those places you pay to get thrashed...

dstyle

they thought it was odds on he wouldn't get in so it was easy to sneer

OOOPS!!!  HO HO!!!

JRM would make a thoroughly decent Speaker for the House of Commons, highly intelligent and honest,he would be a refreshing change from the rubbish we have had recently.He may enable us to respect them again ?

anyone who winds the riff raff up is fine by me

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.

He sounds like a season ticket holder at the stadium of light.

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.

The MP for the 18th century

huge jacob rees mogg fanboy alert

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.

Corbyn, Clegg and Farron

Dianne Abbot. I think that covers all three.

Dianne Abbot. I think that covers all three.

burton !!!!  that is fatist !!  prepare for re-education camp(apologies to any group offended by the word camp)

please sir it wasn't me it was that S-H

He was reading the Financial times at the age of 12 typical spiv upbringing

“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.”


JRM

poor anx anyone got more than a score in a wallet and they are a spiv

Education Eton College , Trinity College Oxford, another Man of the People.

I don't see a problem with his education at least he's not stupid

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.

I could not give a flying fig about him, his education , his money , his family's coal mines and his attempts to downplay his life of privilege

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...

Nashwan 22 Jan 05 11:37

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.

I don't particularly dislike him that much , I have seen far worse tories than him, the working class ones are far worse than the aristocrats

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

Glad to hear a politician that has a sense of humour for once.

saw a funny picture of a teenage boy scout this morning covered in 100,s of boy scout badges underneath the headline of,

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.
