Celebrity jacob rees-mogg takedowns
Stuart Maconie’s gloriously forensic takedown of Jacob Rees-Mogg is today’s most satisfying thing
Here’s a rather lovely thing – no, not Jacob Rees-Mogg – after the former Conservative MP and leader of the House of Commons (ha!) started wanging on about the European Union again.
You won, Rees-Mogg (and then you lost, obviously), get over it.
Any deal that once again puts us under the yolk of the EU must be repudiated by the Conservatives whenever we are next in government, on day one. Trump shows such things are possible. https://t.co/tNsEWqBJ8k

And it prompted lots of responses, many of which we have rounded up over here.

But we return to it because no-one did it better than broadcaster and author and all-round top man, Stuart Maconie.
It’s ‘yoke’. Also that’s not what ‘repudiated’ means. Plus there’s no need for that comma. Eton, eh? https://t.co/db1hfAnUdF

Hat-trick hero.
Not sure English is his first language. Should we deport him?

He’s an Eton mess, all on his own
