Brexit: Mogg compares Sunak to May - people saying same thing

Jacob Rees-Mogg has used his “Moggcast” podcast to criticise Rishi Sunak’s handling of the Northern Ireland protocol negotiations.

Jacob Rees-Mogg warns that Sunak’s handling of new Brexit deal is ‘very similar to what happened under Theresa May’, whose deal never passed…https://t.co/Q01tRPmqVi via @conhome

It comes as Boris Johnson warned Rishi Sunak not to drop power to override Brexit deal.

Dark

Mogg Referring to the way No 10 has handled the talks with the EU on rewriting the protocol, with Tory MPs being kept in the dark.

He said: “It’s quite surprising, because this is very similar to what happened with Theresa May.

So a story would appear in the Times and Downing Street would say: ‘No, this isn’t quite right, it isn’t at all right’.

“And then a week or two would go by and it would turn out to be completely right and they would hope that people would just conveniently fall in behind the announced policy.

“And life doesn’t work like that. It’s important to get support for it first before you finalise the details and that doesn’t seem to have been done here.”

So the Brexiter Tories are already turning on Sunak comparing him to Theresa May and we all know what happened when they turned on her…

The lettuce outlasted her!

Reactions

It appears we have already reached the "cabinet members are willing to resign over supposed betrayal of Brexit purism" stage of Sunak's Theresa May tribute act. He still seems unable to grasp that the party he leads is now completely unmanageable.

Jacob Rees Mogg thinking that any deal the gov’t does has to be cleared with him first is just the most Jacob Rees Mogg thing ever. https://t.co/CwWV7OJKDS

🚨

Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests Rishi Sunak is making the same Brexit mistakes as Theresa May.

Said he does not know "why so much political capital has been spent on something without getting the DUP and the ERG onside first".

Same old crap, no real solutions, just anti EU nonsense. He'd only be happy with no deal Brexit and the resulting chaos, to pump up his hedge fund.

"Oven ready", "easiest deal in history", "we hold all the cards", Mogg promised 20% cheaper food and clothing post Brexit. Johnson hailed the Brexit deal as a triumph (even though he hadn't read it) and commended it to parliament (while cutting short debate). Was it all lies? YES

This is worth a watch

Two things Brexiters say that really trigger me…

1) When they blame the EU for Brexit not working

2) When they say that leaving the EU means we can increase our standards

This morning I got both of them… pic.twitter.com/zkKXcyA6R1
