Turn on the radio to hear multi-multi millionaire Jacob Rees-Mogg explaining to Nick Ferrari why poor people aren't poor. #lbc
In that weird accent
Apparently only "absolutely poor" people are poor. Relative poverty doesn't count. Or something. Relative poverty is when you can't get that second footman - or a new chaise longue for the east wing
Anyway that's enough enlightenment for one day. *turns off radio*

Daniel Kawczynski's "History of Britain" because.... well someone had to. As told to Otto English #Satire
thepinprick.com/2019/02/04/dan…
Still great mind that he is Kawczynski's no Paul Nuttall. Dan writes history - Paul made it
Well this has proved popular thank you

Why is Britain turning blind eye to Leave side’s lawbreaking? The Irish Times asking what no British publisher dares ask.

I'm disgusted that Arron Banks swans about apparently untouche by this
What will happen is that years down the line there will be some sort of investigation and by then it will be too late. Arron Banks and his cronies have wrecked the country and then just walked away.

Thousands have told him this tweet is factually wrong. He has been told to his face that it is factually wrong. The fact that he has posted it - despite it being factually wrong it has even made the news

But still he leaves it up

What does this say about truth and Mr Kawczynski
Essentially MP "Daniel Kawczynski confronts truth and says it's wrong" oh dear Shropshire

Jacob Rees-Mogg's attack on Mark Carney yesterday for being biased, Canadian & wrong represents the coming together of three strands of British political culture, the combination of which is now harming the way our politics works. If you'll indulge me, a short thread... 1/5
1. Britain lauds the amateur. It's why we love Strictly, X-Factor & Bake Off. But in public life, reverence for the determined amateur has morphed into contempt for professionalism. We disparage & suspect the experts who help run our country (from Mark Carney to Olly Robbins) 2/5
2. Our political elite is dominated by generalists (like me). The public school/Oxbridge/politics nexus still delivers Renaissance men with great rounded education. And generalists like Rees-Mogg think clever people are just as good at economics as economists. They're wrong. 3/5

Jacob Rees-Mogg on @LBC now.... taking your calls on 0345 60 60 973.

Ferrari: "Pronounce on the health of the Chequers' deal..."

JRM: "The pulse is very faint. Brexit is a fundamental error..."

Ferrari: "Brexit?"

JRM: "Chequers.... Chequers is a fundamental error."
JRM: "There comes a point when the flogging of a dead donkey has to stop...."

"I think rival plan is a Canada-plus. He (Barnier) made it clear a Canada-plus deal would be available."

Ferrari: "You weren't ganging up on the PM?"

JRM: "How would I gang up on my own PM."
JRM: I don't think Mr Carney's term should be extended. I don't think we should play ducks and drakes with the position.

Says he has been politically biased. Backs former Treasury select committee chairman and MP Andrew Tyrie to take over.

This points to No. 10 having made up its mind about the toxicity of @BorisJohnson. Which makes sense. His ability to fight proxy wars, betray colleagues, and barefacedly lie is hard to get past.
But the appointment of @DominicRaab suggests she just blinked. /2
This doesn't suggest the Brexit crew feel particularly confident about rolling May any time soon. /3

Jacob Rees-Mogg was supposed to board the Brexit fishing boat at Embankment pier. But he's just been told he's not allowed on because no one asked TFL's permission
Blocked from boarding his Brexit boat, Jacob Rees-Mogg is now having to walk to Parliament instead
A cyclist stops at the side of the road to inform Jacob Rees-Mogg that he (Jacob Rees-Mogg, not the cyclist) is "our next prime minister"

‘Jacob Rees-Mogg to fling fish from trawler on Thames in protest for fishermen 'betrayed' by May's Brexit deal’

I want my country back 🤦🏼‍♂️

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
Retweeted by a Brexiter who possibly thinks I’m being pro-JRM. Worrying.
Jacob Rees Mogg: “I follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.”

*Jacob flings dead fish into the Thames in protest at Brexit transition deal*

Hmm. Didn’t Jesus magic up lots of fish to feed the poor? Jacob screws the poor, then throws their dinner in the river. How very Christian.
