Interesting panel on QT tonight! on 22:24 - Feb 14 by Championship
Thanks for the reminder. Rees-Mogg is always a decent guest even if I don't agree with him.
This is the same logic that let Roy Keane get away with it as long as he did. 'Sure we're bottom of the league, no wins in 12, he's alienating players left,right and centre, he's sold off one of our most promising young players and the team's playing terrible football, but his pressers are brilliant'.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

I'm still rather confused
Does Rees-Mogg want to depose May, or does he support her ?
Abortion wrong, or having investment in a company that makes abortion pills right ?
Investing in the UK, or moving his investments to Ireland (as he has now done)
Object of ridicule in Parliament, or a toff the lower orders and the not too bright genuflect to ?
Political chancer, or political chancer..............I think I know that one.

I think it's incorrect to decribe JRM as MP for the 18th century. Wrong time period altogether for style or policies (not to mention his open Catholicism having been banned from Parliament until 1829).
In manner and personal presentation, he's far more late 19th century. In political outlook, he fits better in the Thatcherite 1980s.

err no
His is one of privilege and maintaining that 'order' - a true Tory in the classic sense. What Thatcher believed in (among the wacky stuff) was more free market liberalism, whereby it was a free for all. Grab it while you can and let others pick up the pieces afterwards.
That Rees-Mogg is mockingly derided as the 'minister for the 18th century' is not due to any perceived political stance but his absurd affected mannerisms, that are supposed to project some degree of gravitas.
Unfortunately as with Johnson, a 'gimmick' is only as good as the product it is attempting to promote, and that is where Rees-Mogg falls flat. Hence him only ever being a back bencher.
Carefully rehearsed points cannot mask a lack of political nous, or ability.

It's unfortunate that JRM's Catholicism only stretches so far as denying women the right to terminate their pregnancies, but doesn't go so far as to vote against war or help the needy.
Such shameless cherry-picking is disgusting.

What wars has JRM voted for that you object to?
There haven't been any wars since 1939. It's more a wider point about being a cheerleader for military action and other grave decisions seemingly without religious pause while posing so solemnly on abortion.
Are you promoting this backward headbanger now?

JRM is a Thatcherite, of course he is. He literally runs a hedge fund.
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

I'm not sure how asking what wars JRM has voted for that you object to is promoting a backward headbanger?

No. Rees-Mogg is from the traditional wing of the party. Thatcher was almost the opposite in social and economic liberalism.
Hedge funds have been around decades before Thatcher was even elected as an MP.
He can be *from* whatever you want to say, but if you look at his voting record you will see otherwise. He is practically a libertarian. He is a Thatcherite as almost all of them are.

So to prove that point you refer to an article about his father !
And yes it does matter what 'wing' he is on. If those very definite allegiances did not matter or signify anything then the Tory party would not be ripping into each other like ferrets in a sack.
You might just as well state that it matters little what faith muslims or jews follow as they both believe in an Ambrahamic god.

He's the new Boris. He's posh and a bit 'funny' therefore idiots like him. I strong;y suspect that were he ever to come to a ministerial role he'd prove to be as incompetent and lazy as Boris.
