Rees-Mogg’s Brexit claims pulled apart in viral video

Jacob Rees-Mogg was discussing Brexit (what else?!) yesterday.

Mogg a cabinet minister in Johnson’s government, also claimed the cross-party privileges committee investigating his former boss is “political” – and even suggested it all goes back to “haters of Brexit” trying to bring him down.

So yep, even that was about Brexit!

DUP

Mogg was asked about the DUP and their rejection of the Windsor Framework.

Its leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said he would continue to work with the government on “outstanding issues”.

But Downing Street has said there are no plans for substantial change to the deal.

MPs will be given a chance to vote on the so-called “Stormont Brake” aspect of the Windsor Framework on Wednesday.

However, Transport Secretary Mark Harper dismissed the likelihood of a major revolt by Tory MPs.

He told Sky News: “I hope that the DUP in time will accept the deal.

“They obviously are not going to support it this week but I think the vast majority of my colleagues will.”

Watch

Filmmaker Peter Stefanovic has pulled apart Mogg’s argument about the DUP’s reluctance to agree to the new deal, which is not very different at all from Boris Johnson’s original ‘oven ready’ deal.

Peter shared the video and wrote: “Just watch was in disbelief.”

Peter added: “This morning criticizing the Northern Ireland Protocol & Rishi Sunak’s new Brexit deal but no one actually points out it’s an improved version of the Boris Johnson deal he championed & voted for!”

More Wafflebollocks from the "Honourable" member for the 18th Century. Unbelievable.

Why do we still give this self serving non entity TV exposure? Sooner he's gone the better.

There is no disbelief, it’s exactly what you’d sadly expect. Disbelief would be hearing intelligent, reasoned thinking for the benefit of the country, not just himself and his mates.

Tried and failed .

His debating skills seem based on the cynical pontifications of a world weary minor public school master .

And his musings affect the well being of millions .
Despicable .

If GB News were actually a 'News' channel they might have played this to him and then asked for his comments. But No, GB News according to OFCOM are 'entertainment' https://t.co/AFIr4bNOch

Watch this if you can, it took me three attempts, because the hypocrisy and lies tumble out of Rees-Moggs mouth. The vote was not democratic, in any way.
Rees-Moggs own company is now based in Ireland. Thank you @PeterStefanovi2 for being there for us. https://t.co/40q3JrQ3dR
