Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg: ‘Reform did not take our votes’ | The Daily T Podcast
Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg told the Daily T: “Reform voters are good, sensible people. I heard from people who came to help me with the election campaign that they’d gone into Central Office to help the telephone campaigning operation.
“And they’d rung people in Clacton and they’d rung Tory members and the Tory members were all voting for Nigel Farage.
“These aren’t wild, silly people, they are good, solid British citizens who wanted to vote for a party that was going to do something they cared about.
“Are we saying as I think David Cameron that they’re all ‘fruitloops and Looney Tunes’, I’ll paraphrase? If we are we’re stupid. Reform did not take our votes. We have no right to those four million votes. We have to win people at every election and Reform is a powerful reality.
“The idea that Nigel Farage, who is one of the most capable and charismatic campaigners, is going to disappear in a puff of smoke from one of his Malboro Lights seems highly improbable.”

One ridiculous man defending another
Without "Reform," it's Requiem for the Tories. "Retire Farage" indeed 🤡
Weirdo pretending to be from the 19th century
Is 8% of the UK mental? Yeah probably
He's not a mp anymore, nobody voted from him cos he's a looser posh knob
I think the Mogg is great, a real upstanding Gent
Mogg is a posh stuck up KNOB 🤭
Who is this zionist clown 😅
Love that bloke, so eloquent, so British, God bless him.
stupid is defending a terrible government for the last decade
The only politician that has never taken experiences from parliament
What an absolute definition of the word “schmuck”. This has been your Yiddish lesson of the day.
I used to think highly of JRM, but that changed when he started talking about his religious beliefs. In reality, JRM, whilst often speaking sense, is a bit of a career politician. He lacks connection with ordinary people and I have to say, his plummy accent and condescending manner really grate on me!
I’m sure some Reform voters are genuinely disillusioned with the status quo and are taken in by the shallow populism it offers, but many others are professional whingers who do nothing but moan non-stop about how crap the country is and who hark back to times that never existed in the way imagine.
He looks kore and kore like a Hitler
I like many in our country voted Reform …we need change in our political system …all the rest have failed us all for decades…the next election ..it will be 8 million Reform voters … just wait and see folks…
What a pleb..
If the MOGG had run as a reform candidate in Somerset he would’ve won!
I think many people are just too anxious to think twice before action
Didn't this f***ing idiot lose his seat in the last election?
So why the hell is he on TV? Get rid of him.
No, Farage is all talk and no trousers meaning.
He makes sense
I've never voted Conservative, so Conservative never had my
Vote. David Cameron that man is delusion.
I will only Vote Reform the only rights wing party.
JRM is absolutely correct, but so was David Cameron PM, most Reform UK voters are the very same naive & gullible Underclasses who voted for Brexit hoping for change and I'm sorry for their loss, I hope the penny drops sooner than later.
❤️🇬🇧
Everyone I've met who voted Reform is a genuine mongaloid.
The Conservative party is as out of date as Mogg.
Another Party added to choose from must have taken some votes from the Conservative Party – it can almost be proved to be such a case where the Reform candidate won from an ousted Conservative candidate. It’s not rocket science or polls would not be so accurate.
What on earth is a solid citizen?
Mogg is nice – Farage is often unpleasant
All that idiocy from George Osborne about being ‘heir to Blair’ and driving the tortes leftwards. Shown to be wrong by the red wall.
JRM … Hit the nail on the head … Just wish remainder of Tory leadership contender s, would wake up to the fact, and their followers.
Yes, I am one of the many folk, who were conservatives, yet found common sense coming from Reform UK, and voted Reform at recent G election. Sadly, my election region, voted in, the Tories. My question with that was: Were folk voting on National Issues, or Local Issues … Mmm … Big, Big question, in my humble Opinion.
Mostly racists
Mogg is a dangerous man. Reform are a dangerous party. If it comes to pass that Reform UK are the biggest party in 2029 Labour and Conservative have only themselves to blame. Reform UK aren’t the answer but Labour and Conservatives cannot keep making poor people poorer without consequences. Neoliberalism has ruined our country
I wish Jacob and co would join Reform UK.
VOTE REFORM IN MAY COUNCIL ELECTIONS 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Moggy should join Reform UK!
If the next conservative leader continually points out that farage admires Putin and how he "managed to take control of Russia" you'd hope that the British public realise that farage is a danger to British democracy
A man who still needs a nanny? 😹
JACOB SHOULD BE IN REFORM, HE IS A BRILLIANT TRUTHFUL MAN
He sounds like he voted Reform too.
Translation: “Tory voters are moving farther and farther right, fuelled by extremist rhetoric by people like me, and I can’t wait to reap the electoral benefits.”
Another unionist party that is utterly irrelevant to the People of Scotland.
He should have been PM instead of Rishi.
