Jacob Rees-Mogg on Good Morning Britain

[@bigbad123321]

That's a man with integrity! He told his true feelings and opinions! I've never supported the Conservative Party in my life, but would 100% vote for Mr Rees-Mogg

[@simonhumphries6706]

The shock of the interviewers of coming up against a politician with convictions

[@theearlofgrantham9816]

"it's all well and good saying we are a multi faith country until you are a Christian" Mogg just says it as it is.

[@Trickshot72]

Christianity is the best of a bad bunch.

I would really appreciate it if Piers Morgan would allow JRM to speak and stop putting words in his mouth. Well handled Jacob I can see your frustration levels rising.

[@Philiptanzer]

If you want to get a real taste of devious dishonesty go look up the Good Morning Britain youtube upload of this interview, they cut off the entire start discussing liberal intolerance. Just gross.

[@stephen_101]

That is a textbook example of how someone with high IQ will always outmanoeuvre those with average IQ, but a oversized ego. Humility always wins! Nice work Jacob, you had them at every turn.

[@swimmingagainsttheti]

Not really. He simply refused to say "I am against gay marriage" by saying he believes in Catholicism view of the world. Thus, clearly he is against gay marriage. It's similar to someone saying "I'm not racism I just take the views of the KKK". He refuses to say the words because that will be used against him and drive away voters. And while I don't agree with his views, I would have much more respect for him if he openly said his views rather and dodge the question.

[@kevinmurphy2562]

Outmanoeuveing Piers Morgan does not require a particularly high I.Q. if, as you estimate, Morgan has an average I.Q.

nope

[@oliski7019]

Of course not, he's a victim.

[@robertthomson1999]

Well Sadiq Khan voted for gay marriage and abortion to remain legal (like a sane individual) so it would be a pretty short conversation...

[@MrClaretMatt]

Robert Thomson Do you believe that Sadiq Khan voted that way because he truly believes it or because he is a virtue signalling careerist?

[@GloriousAssam]

But Sadiq Khan is fine with mosques remaining segregated, women being veiled up in opaque cloth. All depends on which questions you ask.

[@stuartrob1]

So impressed with Jacobs demeanour. Batting away those grenades with calm authority. And I an a gay Moggy fan.

[@Sdakouls3]

Genuine question: if you are gay, why would you support a politician who has consistently voted against granting you the same legal rights as heterosexuals?

[@ralphiix4429]

What rights...? Should gay people have more rights? get phucked

[@Philiptanzer]

Sdakouls3 "The same legal rights as heterosexuals" is very misleading, his only votes against "rights" have been purely on the marriage issue. I found this pathetic attempt at character assassination abhorrent - especially since on their youtube upload they cut out the start of the interview where they discuss liberal intolerance of views they claim unorthodox. I'm gay too and I don't consider gay marriage to be of particular importance. I am perfectly happy, if gay marriage is important to them, for people to vote for it but I do not consider it the burning issue of our time. I would trust Jacob on the crucial issues facing our nation and his views on _free vote_ topics frankly do not even factor into my calculations for choosing good governance.

[@freerangejames6656]

You don't have to agree with someone to respect them, their opinions and their rights. I have two gay friends and they only hang out with straight men. To them being gay is such a small fragment of who they are that they refuse to make it a part of their identity.

[@paulbantick8266]

I don't agree with Mogg (I'm an atheist who was born a protestant) on his views over abortion and I am indifferent over same sex marriage, But he is the best, up front, honest, no bullshit MP we will see in our lifetime.

[@Gonosen]

I have never voted Tory and never will but he is now on my radar and I admire him for laying his belief out without any fear of the leftwing faciast backlash.

[@pburnzzz9260]

Don't glorify liberlism, the has made the world I life in worse.

[@Makadidu]

I am very pro abortion, have nothing against gays and am an atheist, but I think Jacob came out of this looking, not only really good, smart and intelligent, but most importantly very honest! This is what sets Jacob apart from other politicians. He's honest and tells it like it is! Like when he said in effect that it's not socially acceptable to criticise any religion but it's okay to bash Christianity. This is so obvious even to an atheist like me. He tells it like it is!

[@jacktuckerbrown7010]

Future Prime Minister Rees- Mogg, I think you quitted yourself quite admirably in the face of interview questions clearly designed to destroy your character and dwindle your support. I have admired you from a far but I tell you in that 6 minutes of television, my respect and support for you as a leader of conviction, principle and faith completely solidified. Please do not change your beliefs and principle for anyone. Its why we love you!

[@TheBenRatch]

I’m a Catholic. I know exactly how Rees Mogg feels with these terribly insulting comments and questions about his faith. It’s almost as if the interviewer is implying you have to be faithless to be a politician. Or to become a politician one must change their faith (I.e Modernism) to suit a general population. It’s disgusting. As for Piers Morgan (I actually disagree with the Church) well, you’re not a Catholic then! Didn’t see Sadiq Khan or Sajid Javid get asked this sort of thing as they are Muslim. Mogg is vilified not for his politics as he is actually highly intellectual and a great debater, but because of his own personal religious beliefs.

[@johnsmith-7oo]

I believe that JRM is one of those very rare people who have what they want and want what they have. He has stated on numerous occasions that his ambitions in life are to be a good father to his children and husband to his wife, a good representative of his constituents in Somerset and a staunch defender of the freedoms and democracy of Parliament. From what I have seen of him he is doing his best with all those aims. As his public image grows, so will the media have dug like demented terriers after any bone of contention that they could use to bring him down. If the best they can find is that he is a devout Catholic then I fear their cause is lost. The list of politicians who have survived affairs, expenses scandals, publically worshipping comprehensive education and sending their own children to private schools...... Keep digging media, or if you can't find anything, make it up like you usually do.

[@mathieujvc]

As a French-British young man living in France and not used to watching British television, I must confess that I find very irritating and disrespectful the bad habit British journalists have to call every guest by his or her first name. This would never happen in France. It is part of this huge trend aiming to eliminate the notions of courtesy and decency from the public debate

Not_A_Gamer My mother, who's British, finds it rude too. She got really angry when she heard her late father being called "Robert" by a doctor whom he didn't know. It is therefore not a matter of culture. Speaking of France, yes we are polite : we've got "vouvoiement", we use "Monsieur", "Madame" or "Mademoiselle" all the time

This man is so deeply impressive. In a time when politicians bend with the wind to court popularity we have a man who has his own religious convictions but the humility to understand he has no right to force those views on others in a democracy where Government and the church are clearly separate. I used to think Rees-Mogg is more effective as a back-bencher free from the constraints of responsibility and free to say what he really thinks but perhaps we need great men to lead a nation. And a man who is unprepared to compromise his personal religious convictions and defend his position so effectively is a man to trust. I think he would be able to gain the respect of not only out and out Tories but that of traditional Labour voters and people of other faiths.
