Is Jacob Rees-Mogg actually on glue?

[Haffiana]

Jacob Rees-Mogg is now claiming that the current economic meltdown is not at all caused by the recent mini budget. Oh no. He blames 'interest rates' and er, 'global factors' and the Bank of England obvs. Oh, and the BBC for daring to ask him questions.

Even given the IQ of the shit show that is the current Conservative Government, who on Earth thought it was a good idea to wheel out this farcical, deluded, mad fucker?

I thought they had firmly sealed Rees-Mogg into a box after his last outburst when he blamed the Grenfell Tower victims for dying because they were stupid. It seems they have let him out.

Channel 4 Fact Check
Starmer incorrectly claims economy hasn’t grown for 12 years

Labour Leader Keir Starmer said -
“The single biggest problem over the last 12 years has been the failure to grow the economy. We haven’t had economic growth for 12 years now.”

FactCheck verdict
Keir Starmer said “we haven’t had economic growth for 12 years”. This is incorrect. The UK economy has grown every year since 2010, except for one year: 2020.

Especially as that's not what the IMF said

But you will have your memories Clav 12/13/14 years - good luck getting into the lifeboat.

Anything can happen in 2 years - election January 2025. In any case, I quite liked Tony Blair for a few years - Starmer might be a fully-paid-up Blairite by 2025.

aka even you have given up with these shysters.

I love James Ob (obviously) here he is laying brutally into Mogg.

I take everything he says with a pinch-of-salt, although I accept that he is a master of disingenuous quoting and twisting of facts.

master of disingenuous quoting and twisting of facts

No, you wouldn’t want that kind of thing, would you, Clav?

Oh, the irony!

I'm not keen on James O'Brien but he's not often wrong is he?

@MurderAtTheBeautyPageant - yes that was it - sorry did not mean to be obtuse

He was wrong on the Carl Beech elite VIP paedo ring but as was Tom Watson and he's a tad smug and arrogant but I'm an addict of the show and I feel he has honesty and integrity.

This says it all...

I feel I may be on glue myself, just had horrible vision of waking up on Monday morning to discover, in the absence of anything better, he's now PM. Wheres the valium?

Don’t even joke about it. I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL. Honestly, I’d consider going and heckling him if he were. We could organise a rota so he can’t speak in public without women shouting over him about it’s 2022 now and he can take his misogynistic Victorian values back to the 1900’s where they belong. We need a song, I think.

The Haunted Unlucky Pencil just can't stop digging himself in deeper, even when the subject has just publicly died an excruciating death in front of the whole wide world, and the burial has already started.

Here is his latest tweet:

'The Prime Minister has acted decisively to provide the economic stability our country needs.

As a government, we must now get on and deliver the pro-growth reforms that will lay the foundations for our future prosperity.'

Moggy mate, just - stop. You knowingly chose the idiot cabal as your tribe. It is over.

The Prime Minister has acted decisively to provide the economic stability our country needs

Oh do fuck off. Is that the economic stability that existed before Truss opened her gob? And you think you can provide that, you absolute idiot?

Imagine having to draft the Lines to Take on sacking the Chancellor and they making sense. An almost impossible task for anyone with any sentient brain.

When Rees Mogg says things that are ridiculous, deluded, and detached from objective reality I honestly don't know if he's lying on purpose or doesn't understand the situation.

More Moggy? It must be at least a couple of weeks since the swivel eyed loons all got the boot? Well, nearly all. Now he's resurrecting? The period of rest hasn't worked Moggy, you still sound as daft as before. I don't think Rishi wants you no matter how much smarming you can do.
