Rees Mogg moved his own company to Eire in preparation for the brexit that he eulogized.
And now it's being wound down.
Afraid that's incorrect
But he still has an EU passport thus can travel freely in the EU - he once confided to a friend that one of the benefits of Brexit was that he could walk along the sands of Torremolinos etc without being affronted by the sound and sight of unwashed drunken U.K. plebs
Ireland is only called Eire if you are speaking in Irish, or as Gaeilge!
Correct
Tories have utterly destroyed this country!!😢
and people will still vote for them moving forward. Working class people, middle class people. It's insane, quite literally insane, but they will just kick up a storm about immigrants and fools follow fools
@@jebusgodSome will but most won’t and never did.
Thanks to labour
Thats because we voted for Brexit and the labour part have tried everything to turn it around. They have sabotaged Brexit and the moves towards it in every way we got more trade deals after Brexit than what was permitted by the EU but yet again they have tried everything to derailed it so who's the one that has destroyed the country.
Labour has even said that they would reverse Brexit so even if they had another vote today the public would still vote to leave. @@jebusgod

"It's alright, we can postpone the adverts." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@davis7099how is that boot tasting?
James O'Brien was one of very few people who actually challenged Mogg and Farage. Other interviewers were either fearful of their jobs, or woefully underprepared.
and he keeps going on about it 4 half years on
Which one was sheila fogarty? BOTH 😂
What drivel. The most of media played along with it, thinking that they'd lose.
@@manjabs7246 keeping them real.
Do you have a problem with that?
Manjabs gb news spends all day everyday going on about Brexit
How are we all enjoying our cheaper food 8 years after the vote?
…and the wonderful Australian beef that Snooty-pants extolled the virtues of in that same -car crash- interview 😂
Don’t forget the cheap clothing and shoes, plus the promised pluses were supposed to be a mere 50 years in the future
nothing to do with shutting country down then in the meantime..of coarse all the other eu countries are fairing wonderfully now aren't they?
When Rees-Mogg is made Minister for Brexit Benefits and all he can come up with is changing the signs in the Dartford Tunnel, there is not much more to add.
And hoovers that no company would make

He wasn't wrong, he lied, lied and lied.
What did he lie about?
@@bieituns Beats me, I thought he told the truth all the way through (you do know I was talking about Boris right.)
@@strikeforcealpha9343 Oh right, I thought you were talking about Mogg. In that case I agree with you.
@@bieitunshe lied that we can get food and clothing for cheaper and better quality outside the EU which we can’t.
@@bieitunshe said NI had no requirement for alignment. Wrong. And he said that goods would get cheaper. Wrong. He also said, bizarrely, that WTO would be fine. Nonsense even the most novice economist could see
It's the baffling unearned confidence JRM has, when he talks utter nonsense.
The kind of upper class Etonians that Mogg belongs to believe they are innately superior through breeding, and/or education. This gives them a bias towards their own opinions over others. "I disagree with this person, and I'm an upper class man who went to Eton, therefore I must the one who is correct". We're all taught to seek authority on a topic. They believe they ARE the authority on any topic.

It's called Dunning-Kruger effect, a well-known psychological phenomenon. Dunning and Kruger conducted series of experiments that showed that people who knew least and had worst capabilities actually felt most confident about themselves. A simple summary of the effect is: When you don't even know how much you don't know/understand about something, you may feel absolutely confident about yourself (despite only having barely superficial knowledge). The more you get to know and understand, the more you appreciate the complexity of the problem and the less confident you become about your thoughts, ideas and opinions about it.
I absolutely hate the Conservative Party for what they have done to the people of this country
I really wouldn't blame just one party for the woes of the people.
@@keysersoze3427 YES, after 14 YEARS- We're no longer GREAT BRITAIN, thanks to them
Only one party has been in charge for the last fourteen years.
JRM, the haunted pencil…..it’s absolutely amazing to me how this man ever worked out how to open his own front door, but he managed to do that, presumably his nanny helped him ? …… then found his way to Westminster. That was a major leap forward for JRM and a giant leap backwards for the U.K.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine if he had been born as an American, he would have been US President.🤣
Haunted pencil! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I used to like Jacob’s cream crackers.
Is that a rich hall joke? "looks like a haunted victorian pencil"
The public must push hard keep pushing, for accountability to take place.
Accountability for all
It is astonishing to think that grown adults actually voted for JRM.
Then again, look at the Republican primaries.
You're a left winger so not having proper talking points and instead trying to insult people whilst simultaneously playing victim is your choice. Just don't act surprised that people don't want to be like you.

@@ravd8082Are you related to Donald Trump by any chance. He always uses crowd numbers at his rallies, like emperical evidence too!
What people don't realise is that we haven't yet experienced 'Brexitmageddon' here in the UK : the full impact of the additional controls and checks we have to place at our borders as a consequence of leaving the EU. That really starts today with the introduction of the long delayed post Brexit food checks at our borders on EU imports.
Even the Govt has said that there will be an increase in food price inflation as a result. Where it gets really serious, though, is in the delays these checks are likely to cause in the supply chain. We don't have food security in the UK. We import 46% of the food products we consume. Any significant delays will result in gaps in the shelves in supermarkets, higher prices on food stuffs that are available and food price inflation far greater than the Govt is allowing for. Nor is it a question of just growing more of our own foodstuffs to replace EU imports. Brexiteers seem not to have noticed that there is a distinct lack of a Mediterranean climate in the UK to grow the peppers and salads and citrus fruits that we have grown accustomed to. Turnips don't really cut it as a substitute.
I think Rees-Mogg is both a fool and a liar. His lofty and patronising condescension that everything will be OK and that Brexit is wonderful is about to be fully exposed by the cold reality that everything is NOT OK.
What absolute ignorant drivel. Farming is being phased out for the butterflies and insects lovers - you can see the new products with "plant-based meat" - bio-sewage made in labs using machine oils such as rapeseed.
Inflation is increasing because they've printed hundreds of billions of pounds for a) wars, b) bailing out the banks and, c) paying astronomical out amounts for people to stay at home and be terrorised by Camerion's "Nudge Unit". Add in the Yank explosion of Nordstream pipeline, the selling of domestic energy for the highest foreign buyer makes it worse.
Less goods, more freely printed fake currency, not money as it's backed up by anything of value.
Study Weimer era Germany, if you want to see what the next several years look like.
Brexit has absolutely nothing to do with it, otherwise why is the US facing the same inflationary pressures and South America? Whilst Russia is booming, both before and after the war. Because they didn't close down, print money, or allow off-shore or zero tax to be paid by corporations. Unlike the Left/Right cabal of political elites.
As for food scarcity - that only matters in faith-based countries, not the social darwinist dog-eat-dog, survival of the crooked since the Regan/Thatcher jettisoning of the past from 1980.
It's going to be even worse? Let's gooo
Not sure if you noticed mate but food costs have skyrocketed around the world and it's due to the war in Ukraine not because of Brexit, but sure keep trying to scaremonger people in to agreeing with you
@@mikehunt4265 the delusion is strong in this one...

The sad thing is JRM will never debate you again, he was out of his depth then, now it would be an utter demolition job.

@@IMBlakeley he's out of his depth in this existence.

Id argue it was a demolition job the first time around. He just bluffed and lied. All those who knew he was lying already knew. If you were convinced by jrm you could possibly be convinced by anything. The results are now in.
why tell utter barefaced lies?

Do you have a PhD in Astro Physics?
@@greamespens1460do you? No need to answer, the fact that you’re asking that is in of itself evidence against you.

Makes my blood boil
Mogg said that leaving would make us £65bn better off, yet Bloomberg has calculated that leaving has cost us £100bn a year in lost trade and investment.
Mogg is a fool
You've got to admit it James, it's all the fault of us 'remoaners' we failed to believe hard enough in the brexit fairies
Just like we still can't 'move on' or 'get over it.'
Still can't admit that the majority of the country voted to leave and are still trying to derail & reverse it.

When will the penny drop for Brexiteer’s?
They need to genuinely be studied to find out more about cognitive dissonance
What realisation that the remainers have tried to derail it at every turn. Even if they take the vote again today the decision will be the same.

There, corrected it for you.
You're welcome.
If he didn't have a posh voice he would be a nobody that everyone laughed at
What I don't get, his constituency is in Summerset, where there's lots of people/voters, that talk posh and have money. For people on his eye level, that have possibly had personal interaction with him, it must be glaringly obvious that he isn't very bright ..... what makes them vote for him.
I mostly laugh at him because of his Dickensian posh voice.
If he woke up one day and could only speak like Northern singer /comedian George Formby …the Emperor would soon !be seen without his clothes.
@@peaceharmony74Servility is a hallmark of little gammon like ye.
That man should be kept out of public office for the rest of his life. Let him enjoy his fortune with his fanily but never darken our political doors again.
I probably shouldn't have watched this. I always feel vaguely violated after listening to JRM talk down to everyone around him.
Don't worry, you're not alone. ATB
Yeah there aren't many people I genuinely wish bad things on but he is one of them. He's worse than Boris.
If I were asked to guess J.R.M's "Religion" I would say H.C. of England or Jewish but not Catholic, which, apparently, he is. Mea culpa, he's of the Latin branch. Apparently, the number of "Catholics/Nationionalists" in Northern Ireland over 16 years of age, or close to that, are now in the majority. He would have mixed feelings hearing this, I would think, given the conditions agreed to in the 1922 Treaty between "The Free State" and Britain.
Thanks to people like you “James O’Brien” you are a STAR
Hyacinth Rees-Mogg is detestable.
Go on JAMES!
U crush him, he was lost for words, and out off his lies...
I hope people off Britain finally will wake up from Tories lies...
To lie in the parliament should cary serious consequences!
☘ *Anyone else getting impatient that still NO evidence of a Brexit benefit?* 😮
What Mogg saw, but of course couldnt say, is that all the billionaires need a safe place to store their money, preferably without paying any tax, without being subject to those pesky EU laws. That there are literally only downsides to that plan for ordinary Brits wasnt apparantly seen as something beneficial to share with the public. The result is clear though and we now see within the same country, the wealthiest and one of the poorest areas in Europe. One has to question the virtues of the UK democratic system if the people behind this plan managed to convince so many people exactly from these poor areas, to actually vote for this. If people cannot cast their vote on the basis of objective truths like hard statistics and forecasts by professionals, what exactly are they voting for instead?
It speaks volumes to the under investment in education in the public sector, over many, many UK Governments. The majority of Brits are almost as thick as Americans right now.
Yeah but to be fair you can say "please vote for Brexit so my offshore earnings and my trust i have for my children goes untouched by HMRC because of impending changes to EU tax laws" and tell the truth, but only a few hundred thousand people would have voted to leave?
OR you can make up headline grabbing comments like "take back control of our border from Johnny Foreigner invading us " (as we all know that stopped the minute the UK left the EU) or "£300 Million for the NHS" (again most of that went into Baroness Mone's pocket during Covid but it's ok she's a Tory peer) while we all know what those headlines meant. It meant rich folk kept their money safe and made public owned assets like the NHS even more likely to have their funds raided by their fat cat mates.
And a lot of the British public fell for it. The MINUTE a politician opens their mouth you should assume they are LYING unless they can categorically prove they are not....
Mogg and his Nanny is the most frightening thing since that H. P. Lovecraft movie Re-animator.
JRM waxed lyrically on Beef from Australia, beef pumped with growth steroids and anti biotics which would fail our standards, but his company Somerset Wealth opened a branch in Australia to make money from trade.
About time we brought back the ole choppy chop for termites like mogg.
Send JRM back in the 1800´s
Supercilious twaddle. How on earth did a majority of the people of Somerset vote for this? What is wrong with them?
Cider drinking
Painful, ludicrous, and so, so, sad; either incompetence or lying (that's verging on criminality); I tend to believe it's lying, chiefly for self-interest, and on behalf of his backers, who gained a lot from everyone else's loss. His father wrote the book on it.
Imagine him on the cross-country run?
What a baggage!
His nanny would run it with him on her back.😂😂😂
The fact his name comes up as "smog" if you follow this with captions says it all. 😀
So if we can judge people on past performance; why does he still have a public voice?
Jacob Rees-Mogg just knew exactly how to make money out of it all.
We have not done very well in Brexit. The poor man of Europe
*Free
Germany is in recession. Demos all over the EU.
His voice alone should disqualify him from public office.... Along with his sincere desire to be a politician.
He's not a member of the public, he'd wrinkle in disgust if you made that assertion.
But that's all he is... a wrinkle (minus the r)
and people will still vote for him/them
Nice one James 👌. Rees Mogg's daddy wrote a book about to profit from chaos capitalism, his son moved his company abroad before the 2016 vote and profited to the tune of many millions during covid. His off pat, put down replies are what these 'entitled' richards learn at skool. Please keep up your exposés.
JOB. Legend. 👏
Pompous and posh (that's JOB by the way)
JRM is confidently wrong about many things.
No that's James O'Brien
Has there ever been anyone in the media capable of pouring so much scorn on so many as O’Brien.
It's interesting how he manages to garner blind loyal support after being proven to be completely inept and utterly wrong so many times. I think there is something to be argued about people feeling an affiliation to you if you just say what they want to hear. After that it's plane sailing fleecing them alive whilst keeping them happy.
I would love to buy James a couple of pints and have a variety of conversations. He is a national treasure, and an extremely objective journalist / presenter. I hope he visits Norfolk in the near future. I have, however, given up on Nick "Daily Mail" Ferrari.
Great James you are great keep showing them up
The world needs more James O Briens , Honesty and Intellect in Abundance , from Alan and the Tilson family in Dublin/Ireland
Lord Snutty said prices would go down 20% on Brexit . The pound went down by at least 20% after Brexit vote against all major currencies. Therefore all imports went up in price. Food.Fuel. etc.
So JRM dosent want checks even though he knows that the EU dosent need to check anything heading to the uk. Or strawberries or apples coming from anywhere. It was always going to happen but some people will still blame EU for punishing the UK 😂😂😂😂
Well done James
Cheaper clothes, food and footware everyone. I'm pretty sure ALL those have gone up, steeply.
Johnson and Mogg... The new Laural and Hardy...
Most of the Brexit plan was to model a tax haven, similar system like Singapore.
Why is anyone surprised JRM is and always has been the a bare faced liar.
Oh young James. There's so much we wish we could warn you
“Born with silver spoons in every orifice”! 😂😂
sMogg is the kind of person that had very bad luck in 1789.
This reminds me of George Orwell's comment on the English in 'The Lion and the Unicorn'. We are a family, but a dysfunctional one with all the wrong people in charge.
Ain't that the truth! Nice one
He is now upset that food entering Britain has to be categorised into safety ratings a law enacted by the British government to protect British consumers.
A Brexiteer upset Britain is making its own rules. 🤦♂️
Nanny needs to take him to one side and have a quiet word.
JRM's rheorical superiority counts for nothing in 2024. History justified JOB.
Possibly Mogg thought that as goods imported through the EU were checked by the EU we need not check them. However goods DESTINED for the UK which enter the UK are NOT now checked. So the checks which were spread out across all members of the EU now have to be checked by the UK. This is a collosal amount.
Using the word "footwear" about sums the level of his intelligence.
James seems to forget he was shaking by the end of the Mogg interview.
James said it would take ten years to get any trade deal. He was spectacularly wrong.
Mogg is disingenuous like all politicians, but James is the one who lives in denial of his many many mistakes.
In which parallel world?
This is why Sir James O'Brien is the absolute best at this 🙌 💯👌
He should be behind bars for a long time .
James well said every time blessings
JRM equals Lord snooty from the beano ... If u old enough to remember that kids comic lol . If not please google and u see the resemblence 😊
Smog is ok he's got his own TV show when he should be in Parliament doing a day's work
James lost the 2019 debate with JRM
He lied and you believed him.
Excellent points. Rees-Mogg speaks with confidence about the economy, but is absolutely ignorant about the subject.
The last refuge of a rouge is politics
It would be an act of kindness not to assume JRM considers himself as possibly the only truly intelligent being in the UK.
he's not conceited although I'm sure he has every reason to be so
I just found your podcast, I really enjoy you and how you try to bring out the truth in people.
Brilliant! Cheers mate!
JRM has the mental agility of a small soap dish. MASSIVE example of Dunning Kruger effect. Money and a plummy accent really will take you far in the UK despite your utter lack of ability because a lot of poor people think a plummy accent and money means you are better than they are.
JRM, so detestable.
Love that O'Brien will always hold people to a point and not let them get past a question. Too many journalist/interviewers are all too happy to let politicians shy away from answering, but even without a real answer James is able to make them look as incompetent as they are.
The way he talks down to people, he's obnoxious. When he said James was being being "hysterical", it was a typically arrogant response of a Tory when challenged. Like Cameron, when he told MP Angela Eagle to "Calm down, dear."
He is arrogant to the point of disbelief . He and HE is only right ???? I am surprised he did not cut YOU off James , just like he does on "his " show . He is vile .
“I can see the opportunities of cheaper food, clothing and footwear.” How did that work out?
Carl Beech says hi James....thanks for your support.
To people like Johnson and Rees-Mogg, its all a game.
I remember that interview - it still makes my blood boil... Brexit would bring cheap food, cheap clothes and cheap shoes... The only thing in recent years that has stopped me from going insane is the brilliant James O'Brien.
Reality disproving near everything JRM has ever said or campaigned for has no meaningful impact on him personally or politically. So he can maintain being some absurd character without ever having to develop a substantive personality or outlook and face no consequence. Politics is full of the shallowest of hells hiding behind grandiose facades
"It´s a very crowded field" :)
Sometimes I'm convinced Rees-Mogg is an actor playing a character
Will someone give this man a handkerchief?
How he convinced people to vote for him beats me.
There was no need for regulatory alignment, as both countries were in the EU, their policies in terms of trade were already aligned....
On the button, first class take on the situation.
Rees Mogg, Dunning-Kruger.
Its like going back 70 years.. The British Empire, don't you know !!
The day James got his pants pulled down. Brilliant Jacob.
