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.

The film Idiocracy comes to mind. I am waiting for one of the muppets to announce that we will be watering crops with Lucozade.

This. Yes, some great leaders and thinkers went through the same sausage machine but they have tended to be unusual personalities and genuinely very bright, not fogey caricatures.

The best description of JRM I've read, was here from MN. I now use it because i think it describes him perfectly

Jacob Rees Mogg looks like a man, who when he wanks off, dust comes out.

😁

He's insufferably patronising to little people and his explanation of the current mess is ridiculous, blaming the Bank, interest rates (as though they had a life of their own), etc., rather than the reckless policy of Truss and Kwarteng.

What he knows to be true and what he says are not always the same thing, I think. He's hoping enough of the population are on glue so that they'll be deceived. He may find that that is less likely since so few of his Brexit promises have come through for ordinary people.

He’s a useless politician. A peevish little man who’s not half as bright as he thinks he is. But one thing he does very well is demonstrate perfectly how far a plummy accent can take one in the UK.

If he had a West Midlands accent none of us would even know his name.

1950s viewpoints? Don't you mean 1850s?!

Well his Eton education didn't do much for him as he can't even count to 5...........when MPs were allowed to file past the queen's coffin they were allowed 4 other with them, he had his 4 kids on a school day in their private school uniforms and his wife with him😡

Who in the name of fuck voted for the man?
Anyone on here willing to own up?

Actually true but a bit more than that. his daughter (JRM mother) married William Rees Mogg, Times editor (she was his secretary) and then JRM arrived

LT only pushed him out this morning as he's the only one stupendously obsequious enough to do it.

Whenever you see JRM being wheeled out, you know the situation is desperate.

@PortiasBiscuit I actually don't know how to vote so hope it's not me done it accidentally🙈😳😂

he is the one who doesnt care. He plays an arrogant toff so well and whatever he says I just get a red mist so his words go past me. He is prob v.erudite but not in a good Stephen Fry way.

I think he's on spice myself! 😂

I saw a clip of him doing a pompous recap of collective Cabinet responsibility on one of the morning shows to duck answering a question. He might have had a point, but making it as he did, he came across as the tit that he is. I am holding out for the electorate of North East Somerset delivering me a Portillo moment.

He has always reminded me of the Demon Headmaster. I see there is a more recent reboot.

Oops, images required.

This is all the Tories have - a load of gaslighting. I really hope this is the start of the end. I want to see them wiped out into nothing so that they have to start all over again - and maybe learn some humility. no chance

May your wish be granted midsomermurderess, sooner rather than later, I can't take much more of these pontoons.

! Poltroons, thank you autocorrect.

Simple fact is he's just not very bright and is crap at a job that far more brilliant minds should be doing. A posh voice, money and going to Eton has tricked him into thinking he has something useful to say, and he does not. The end result is reckless, arrogant, clueless and thoroughly unremarkable people like Rees-Mogg running the country - and running it into the ground. We need a GE.

Haunted pencil! Brilliant 👏 😂

Yes indeed. Calls to mind the time when BoJo was asked the price of a pint of milk and he said he didn't know but he knew how much a bottle of champagne cost.

We can't get glue now, due to Brexit :)
