In Conversation Jacob Rees Mogg

[@6rett]

Whether you lean to the left or the right, you cannot deny JRM is a man of conviction. One day - not soon, or even within the next few years, but one day he will lead our country and I will stand by him 100%.

[@Truth_Seeker_UK]

As a life long Labour voter myself I'd happily vote Mogg to see us through Brexit

[@malpreece5008]

I totally agree. A friend of mine who has been a life long Labour supporter recently said he doesn’t agree with all of Jacob’s positions, but he considers him a man of conviction and admires him tremendously. I had the pleasure of meeting JRM in 2016 during the EU referendum, and I can honestly say he was real gentlemen.

[@tamsinthai]

He's a fucking hypocrite. But pro Brexit (with which I personally agree albeit it having been to my detriment as an expat). What other of his policies do you agree on?

[@malpreece5008]

tamsinthai Well done for supporting Brexit as an expat, that's very noble of you. Of course the main reason I agree with Rees-Mogg is because of his stance on Brexit, because it's an all pervasive issue that will impact upon the UK in many different ways. However, I agree with him on reducing corporation tax, increasing the income tax allowance threshold, reducing foreign aid, his advocation of small government, and his general disdain of 'political correctness'. Also, I agree with a lot of his personal views on morality, but no doubt I'll only get put down for being an out of touch traditionalist if I share any of those views on here! Anyway, hope that answers your question.

He can reply in such a way because he is a back bencher. If he was in the cabinet he wouldn't be so free to speak his mind.

About as clear and concise as you can get; he speaks in a very straightforward manner, which, only 30 years ago, would have made him a very bland and unexceptional MP, as so many spoke the same way then......but cometh the moment cometh the man, and he IS a man of the people, not in spite of his background, but more precisely BECAUSE of his background!

A pleasure to watch a civilised Q&A. The questioner probed without being insulting or looking for the scoop/gaff to hang his guest. The audience well-mannered even though some were there to oppose.

Jacob is a wonder. I trust him. That's a simple answer. I don't trust corbyn, clegg, May. It's remarkably simple.

[@laughingachilles]

I don't agree with some of his views but I like the man because he's quite consistent with his positions. I can respect that far more than a politician who changes their mind depending on what is popular at the time and I think an increasing number of British people are feeling the same way. This is why we saw the rise of Farage and the current popularity of Boris Johnson.

[@laughingachilles]

The quality of someones views is a little subjective and people on each side will consider their to be superior, but I never made a claim about the quality of his views, I merely pointed out that someone being consistent is something I can respect. It also means the person can be easier to deal with and predict, which is useful when you are voting for them.

[@mikebassett9195]

Laughing Achilles - Totally agree. Currently if someone moans the government changes it's mind. Which has led to this state of constant offence. So I get his appeal. Personally I don't like him, but I like to listen because he's clearly intelligent. Unfortunately I can never see the benefits in the conservative approach

[@laughingachilles]

I've never understood the idea of conservative and liberal labels when most people are a mixture of views, so when you say the conservative approach I'm unsure as to what you mean. For example I believe in long prison sentences for serious offenders, but I also believe we need a better approach to rehabilitation. One of these views is traditionally left leaning and the other is right, to me it's about pragmatism and the politics are an afterthought.

[@mikebassett9195]

Laughing - I get your point. For me conservative approach is deregulating and removing workers rights. Which for them allows for greater economic success. That's how I see Mogg anyway, possibly I'm wrong

[@jonarmstrong9595]

@gespilk of course I regard them as humans and they are fortunate enough to have income support when they need it which we should provide for those in need in society - so im not sure how you decided I felt they are not humans not worthy of a dignified existence. making stuff up doesn't help. look, in society there are people who earn a lot (and pay taxes to support those in need amongst other things) and those who don't earn much because of their job, circumstances etc - that's just life. if you don't earn a fortune don't expect to live in Kensington, if you do you can have nice things. Im not sure what your issue is - you reckon the government are killing people - that's nonsense they are supporting people now more than ever. do you expect everyone to be earning £100k or government o just pay for everything

[@jonarmstrong9595]

@gespilk well you only get deductions if you don't bother looking for work or don't show up to appointments which if you re not working you should be able to do - I think that's fair. dole shouldn't provide a comfortable level of income - a job does that. if yiou paid unemployed equivalent of a salary theyd never work and wed pay for it. that's not right is it

54:45 - Building Houses. Building more houses for a population that is growing by over 300'000 every single year through mass immigration is not sustainable if we want to feed future generations _[arable land],_ for even a child understands that you must first plug the holes in a bucket before filling it. Therefore, to satisfy any demand you must first stabilise that demand and not fuel it by building homes that only draw more and more people from abroad. The same goes for school places, NHS care, welfare and so on and so forth.

[@sz6708]

Totally agree we need people who are going to tackle this imminent immigration crisis.

[@karlmunford7000]

Hi S Z All parties need to come together and make some solid decisions regarding where our nation is going, rather than focussing on their term in office. Unless we do something about controlling the demand for housing, jobs, school places, healthcare and welfare etc... it can never be satisfy but only drives demand. Our leaders seem to have forgotten that they were mandated to serve *the very electorate* who voted them into power in the first place, which is the foundation of both citizenship _[nothing to do with race]_ and thus democracy. If anyone can become a citizen by planting their foot on British soil, then the very Parliamentary Democracy that has stayed off the oppression we see elsewhere, is dead.

[@karlmunford7000]

​@@antdavis3843 I think we can all understand the _'Pull Factor'_ of the UK, and I believe it will continue to encourage hundreds of thousands each year until deportations begin. When people understand that having gone to all of the trouble and expense of getting here only to be sent home, it will reduce dramatically. I realise it would take time to make such agreements with other nations but wonder if it has even begun. Currently they are crossing the Channel but we all know that once that route has been closed it only going to be a matter of time before entering the EU enclave of Southern Ireland, they cross in boats to Wales else just walk across the border into Northern Ireland to demand British citizenship. Then, deportations maybe the only card we have left.

[@sorsocksfake]

*ignores the anarchist* *ignores the commy* It's an obvious issue. If you're highly capable, as a leader should be... then you're unlikely to end up poor in the first place. At most someone can be born poor, but most of those quickly abandon the poor life and can't speak for the poor anymore. Seems that often the best advocates are those rare rich people who have an affinity for the poor. Trump (like him or hate him) has that. Roman populists like the Gracchi, Marius and Caesar had that. And the worst are the ones who claim to speak for the poor, but who have no affinity for them. Notably, bourgeouis marxists. It's easy to see the appeal, but its record is that everyone becomes dirt poor after the poorest 10% have been massacred, while somehow the party becomes filthy rich.

I listened again to this conversation and regarding a lift in the Elizabeth Tower I think it can be done if people will put up with a little inconvenience in order to have a great deal of convenience. One simply installs 1 elevator which goes 1/2 way up. The people disembark to take another which goes to the remaining floors. A great deal more convenient than having to climb to the top.

I really do not like the format of posing two (unrelated) questions at a time to the guest speaker. It puts him under unnecessary pressure. It does not allow him, or the audience, to give their full attention to each question in turn. However, if you do not agree with me on this, then perhaps you should go further, and adopt the format used on many news programs, by which I mean: text headings at the top of the screen, “crawler” text along the bottom, and a video playing in the background. All these innovations seem designed to make peaceful concentration difficult, if not impossible.

[@Mark_Dyer1]

How can you have 'maternity' or 'paternity' pay for MPs? This would have two consequences: either no representation IN PARLIAMENT, whilst the politician was absent, or the replacement of the missing MP by someone not ELECTED to fulfil that role! The role of an MP is unique: and they need to accept that 'uniqueness' when they stand for Parliament.

[@sorsocksfake]

Kind of the reverse, I suspect. Whether or not you pay, they'll take that time off. The pay is to make sure their staff can do its job so that they'll remain up-to-date. Imo there might be a reasonable compromise now: allow parlementarians in certain situations to work from home. We have the tech to do that. But it's a reasonable statement that you shouldn't run for MP if you plan on getting pregnant... it's a medical condition, and if you know you're gonna be sick for half a year or more, would you run for office? I don't think that's responsible.

This question or concept of convervatism is fascinating... there are so many facets of it to look at... eg. economic, social. And these can be contradictory, yes I want economic conservatism (open borders to more free competition as JRM stated) -> in time can mean migrant workers, which social conservatists think liberal thing. Other things like not taking debt is bot social and economic conservatism. And there are many many other facets you can think of this. Of course ideologies love these kind of ambiguous terms coz it can be anything you want suited to contemporary context.
