Economic expert tells Rees-Mogg truths about Brexit; Mogg repeats vaccine line

More views on Brexit and trade – and none of them benefit Jacob Rees-Mogg

Further to This Site’s analysis of Jacob Rees-Mogg’s response to a wine importer whose firm is jumping through many more hoops to get, after Brexit, the same result as before, let’s have a couple more perspectives on it.

The first is highly in-depth, courtesy of A Different Bias:

The second is a more personal view, examining a small business owner’s frustrations with Brexit – after being told that European businesses would love to trade with him, but Brexit made it impossible because the bureaucracy involved had increased too much:

None of this helps Rees-Mogg, and there’s a very good reason for it:

He was talking nonsense.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is humiliated over Brexit by business owner

The director of a company that imports wine from the EU explained to the BBC Question Time audience how terrible bureaucracy has become since Brexit, and how much more difficult it is to do business.

He pointed out that there have been no benefits from Brexit – the promised money for the National Health Service never materialised and the Tories had to increase the amount we all pay in National Insurance in order to provide any more.

Tory panellist Jacob Rees-Mogg tried to fudge his way through by claiming that bureaucracy had been eased by his government’s decisions – but the businessman, who has experience of the reality, said in fact matters have been made 15 times more complicated:

Rees-Mogg clearly subscribes to the Michael Gove attitude that “we’ve had enough of experts”.

It’s because experts are going to hand his backside to him any time he tries to cross them.

The career of Jacob Rees-Mogg encapsulated. Just hope it’s really over!

Rees-Mogg: this Hitlerian image fits well with his politics.

I can’t believe I forgot to put this in the article about Rees-Mogg being out of the government.

Better late than never: this is a short video by Led By Donkeys, detailing the main beats – low and lower – of Jacob Rees-Mogg’s life and political career.

If you ever start feeling nostalgic for the days of “good ole Moggie”, just come back and watch this!

Jacob Rees-Mogg is out of the government. Good!

Almost before Rishi Sunak could consider himself prime minister, the Cabinet resignations began – with some of the quitters leaving ahead of the boot, one suspects.

First among these was former Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg, who had described Sunak as a “socialist” during the summer, when he refused to commit himself to the kind of tax cuts proposed by his then-leadership rival (subsequently prime minister) Liz Truss.

And now we have seen the result of Truss’s former Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, merely announcing those tax cuts: an economic disaster.

In his resignation letter, Rees-Mogg backtracked on his “socialist” comment and said he would do all he could to support Sunak from the back benches.

Here’s a news clip:

I’ll try to produce an article on Rees-Mogg’s career, just to remind us all of the kind of man he is.

The fact that such a leading figure in the European Research Group (ERG) – the arch-Brexiter wing of the Conservative Party – is out should not give any of us cause for comfort; the government is still riddled with these politically and economically illiterate headbangers.

Government claims mini-budget didn’t cause crash are denied as bllcks

Jacob Rees-Mogg, making a gesture that well defines him.

What a moment on Channel 4 News when Gillian Tett of the Financial Times verbally laid into Jacob Rees-Mogg!

He has been trying to blame the UK’s current economic woes on anything but the government’s mini-budget/”fiscal event”.

Maybe he thought he was winning us over…

And then Ms Tett turned up and said it was “bollocks”:

Peter Stefanovic of the CWU has been describing government rhetoric as “bollocks” for a long time now.

I wonder if he’s delighted that his description is catching on.

Is Rees-Mogg really planning to deregulate small and medium-sized business?

This is insane.

According to the Maximilien Robespierre YouTube channel, Jacob Rees-Mogg wants to end all business regulation for firms with fewer than 500 staff.

As the blurb for this clip states, “This would mean that they could fire staff without following the law, they could hire anyone to drive a HGV, they could ignore the environment when dumping waste.”

Jobs for Tory friends again as Rees-Mogg pal gets peerage and two government posts

Jacob Rees-Mogg, making a gesture that well defines him.

A city business partner of Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg – one Dominic Johnson by name – has been given a peerage by the Tory government, along with two government jobs.

There appears to be no reason for this, other than that this Mr Johnson is a friend of a member of the Tory government.

Here’s a quick take on this:

This Writer wonders how this will affect the reception Rees-Mogg will receive from the public on his way to the Tory Party Conference in Birmingham this week.

After all, look what happened on Sunday – before his buddy’s elevation was announced:

Jacob Rees-Mogg shows how powerless Commons Speaker is

Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle tried to put Jacob Rees-Mogg in his place after the Business Secretary took details of a new policy to the media rather than announcing it to Parliament first, as is required.

But Hoyle has no power here. Nor does Parliament. Rees-Mogg’s behaviour shows us that the UK’s democracy is flatlining.

Rees-Mogg talks about business support – on a street of boarded-up business failures

Don’t you just love Maximilien Robespierre‘s Fool of the Week feature?

Here, he highlights Jacob Rees-Mogg, who made a video about support for businesses that is too little, too late – while trying to avoid showing us the reality of the situation. Needless to say, others were on hand to reveal the truth of the situation.

Here’s the clip:

And here’s another perspective on it from Phil Moorhouse of A Different Bias:
