Former Tory minister defends UK decision to enter war in podcast with US rightwinger and Putin sympathiser
The former Tory minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has found himself defending Britain’s decision to fight against Adolf Hitler after inviting the US rightwinger and Vladimir Putin sympathiser Tucker Carlson into his home for an interview.
During the encounter, Carlson repeatedly suggested the west was to blame for inviting aggression from Russia and said of the prospect that Britain could have lost to Hitler: “Who cares?”
Rees-Mogg, who lost his parliamentary seat in 2024, appears to have agreed to host Carlson’s podcast show after carving out a post-politics career as a commentator.
I’d nearly forgotten about the haunted pencil
There aren’t many genuinely good things at this point in this timeline, but never having to think about Jacob Rees-Fucking-Mogg is definitely one of them.
Last I heard of him was about a reality tv-show about him and his family. Made me think “who green lit this one?” for about 3 seconds before I forgot about it.
I saw him in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, trying to catch children.
