Jacob Rees-Mogg's 'Kardashian-style' documentary set to air | The Daily T Podcast

In recent years, politicians appearing in reality TV shows has become something of a trend - think Matt Hancock and Nigel Farage on I'm a Celebrity, Ed Balls on Strictly, or Penny Mordaunt on Splash!
The latest to join their ranks is former cabinet minister Jacob Rees Mogg, who earlier this year let cameras into his 17th century stately home in Somerset, where he lives with his wife and six children.
Jacob joins Camilla and Kamal over breakfast in the Daily Tea studio, to discuss how his children felt about appearing on the series, whether reality TV can really help a politician get out a message, and which TV shows he's inclined to binge (the answers may surprise you).
Meet the Rees-Moggs streams from 2nd December exclusively on discovery+

I adore Jacob. Can’t wait to watch the reality show. He’s such a gentleman in every situation.

Except when he lied to the Queen

Enjoyed the interview. I have a great admiration for Jacob Rees Mogg, I find him intelligent in debate and likeable in personality.

[@natl8817]

What a lovely interview. Respectful and nicely paced. A lot of other interviewers would learn from this. Instead of a full blown ignorant attack on someone to get ratings. Very nicely done.

Many years ago when Jacob unsuccessfully stood as a candidate for the Wrekin I briefly met him and he is a very witty nice bloke.

[@GraceyH-ys2iq]

I loved it when Sir Jacob interviewed Helena on his show. They were very sweet and clearly adore each other. Nice change from gotcha tv!

I have met him and his lovely wife and they were absolutely delightful.

[@IsabellaMoss-oj]

I love him and his entire family...Please keep them safe..I look forward to the show, I hope it goes onto Amazon Prime as I no longer watch live TV.

Phahahahahahaha

[@guymankowski3358]

'Keep them safe.' Don't worry about that, they've only ever looked out for themselves.

[@Broomehall]

An eccentric and privileged english family ( which they are well aware of ) but Great Britain wouldn't be Britain without this type of family ...... I like them, and although they may seem strange and outdated to some, they at least have impeccable manners and courtesy, something lacking in todays society, and for that alone I applaud them.

[@RADICALDESIGNOFFICIAL]

sure they're eccentric but they have a great even if things dont go his way. I know hes got millions to fall back on thats not the point. He is obviously so passionate about politics and losing that passion would drive anyone insane

His values are from an era when this was a great country. It's nice to be reminded of what we were, it is all we now have.

[@jeremysmith8035]

I think it's lovely that the Tory graph is suddenly acting all surprised that UK salaries have been stagnating for the last 40 years which is why I live in Ireland where I earn as a senior electronics engineer more than most Tory MPs and interesting that the Irish managed to vote yesterday on issues such as the housing crisis and the cost of living crisis with immigration coming a distant 6th

I have always liked this fella because he tells the truth as he believes it and never bullshits. Its very rare to get that from a politician. The remoaners screwed him, Boris, The Tories and the country over. They are quisling

[@brianbeag]

What a pleasant man! I’m reminded of the occasion he did a documentary film with Jess Phillips, the Labour MP when she remarked her father would be ‘turning in his grave at the thought of her doing this film as she had been brought up to hate Tories’. Now that says a lot.

[@brocktoon8]

This is bloody hilarious. I want to see this!

[@VampExpress]

My not so secret crush! what is not to love about JRM! I am so looking forward to meeting his family.What a treat!

[@steelcrown7130]

I'm from Australia, and the real difference in our accents became obvious when he said "At Home With the Furys". We don't have that programme here, and it sounded like "Fiori" to me - it took quite some searching and good luck (and the closed captions on the video) to find what on Earth he was talking about.

[@alangilbert6064]

I'm white working class and I think JRM is quality. He's a man of principle.

[@blaxtru]

[@rikkiharcourt3868]

Regardless of JRM’s politics he really has the look and bearing of a prime minister. If he were I don’t thick, for one moment, he would break the bond with our pensioners that they would allow the government use their pension money without interest in exchange for cash at the end of our working lives for however long needed. He is no lily livered PM like our prescient guy who appears highly suspect. I like him.

[@rikkiharcourt3868]

PS. I obviously can’t type.

[@tomward3459]

Yes he might be privileged and wealthy. AT least he is doing something positive with his time and money. Many unprivileged leech off everyone else. He is a gentleman and always polite to his guests on GB news unlike other interviewers. I hope he goes over to REFORM

[@morpheus934]

[@robturvey9156]

Camilla”s questioning on Boris was very good and Moggy’s attempt to whitewash the disastrous Boris makes him utterly unelectable to me despite the fact that I agree with many of his other views. Boris completely turned his back on the voter base who had given him such a large majority and Mogg gave him unwavering support. No more Tory voting for me. Ever.

[@jamesbomd3503]

What people don't know is negotiations For the money the fee for Reese Mark and his family Were in negotiations and work to be finalised however the election was called and the production company says we've got a go now with what we have Otherwise we will have nothing let's start today, jacob had planed this for November when the election was due to be called, He knew full well that his seat was at severe risk I wanted to get the filming In before then To help him retain his seat Thus he and his very wealthy family had to take a substantial pay cut because Richie called the election too early, the question for me is why was his seat at risk considering he had all the tv exposure on gb news, remember this is the man who turned down the chance to be prime minister

[@daviddestefanis2989]

What I've noticed, is that a HUGE number of seats had their boundaries redrawn for the 2024 election. That is true of Jacob Rees-Mogg's seat. North-East Somerset WAS a constituency from 2010-2024. It is now North-East Somerset and Hanham. Because of this, 2019 vs. 2024 are not apples to apples. But, as JRM mentioned here, most of their voters went to Reform, and some stayed home. If all the Reform voters had voted for him, he would've won by 2,000 votes. He lost by 5,000.

[@jamesbomd3503]

@@daviddestefanis2989 Thanks for answering that I bet in the back of Jacob's mind he's thinking I should have joined reform but instead I tried to get Nigel to John the Conservative Party huge and catastrophic mistake I know he's heartbroken and he misses parliament

[@daviddestefanis2989]

@@jamesbomd3503 We'll see what happens. Jacob is very 'dyed in the wool Tory'. But if he's clever, and we know he is, he'll be having lots of back room discussions with Reform. If the Tories could possibly make a deal with Reform, that party would be great. There's lots of 'Lib Dems' in the party. But we'll see. I suppose a lot less of them have seats now...
