For all their faults, Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick are at least willing to call out the failures of the Conservative Party. Not so for Jacob Rees-Mogg, the man who provided a reassuring traditional face to a government that ushered in destructive revolutionary change. The intellectually feeble Rees-Mogg remains trapped in the personality cult of Boris Johnson. He has, like Nadine Dorries, called for Boris and the Reform party to unite ahead of the next election. He told The Sun newspaper:
"I think getting rid of Boris was a catastrophic mistake... Do you remember in the 2019 campaign when Boris got in a JCB and bashed through a wall? It would be one of those moments. The wall would not stand much of a chance against the combined Farage-Johnson attack. I want to unite the Right. That’s what I’m working towards. I want the Conservative Party and Reform to come together."
Mogg doesn't dispute the immigration figures. When Farage told Rees-Mogg "the Conservative Party allowed more people to settle in this country in 2022 and 2023 than came from 1066 to 2010" Mogg responds "I know". And yet Mogg refers to Boris Johnson as "the right-wing of the Conservative party". If the liberalism of Boris is the "right-wing" of the party, why would any true conservative stay in the party? The whole function of Jacob Rees-Mogg is to lead people down the garden path, to sure up support among actual conseratives for a party that is dominated by hyper-liberal MPs.
Yet even Rees-Mogg, despite being happy to be a cheerleader for the worst Prime Minister in British history, has concerns about Farage. He told the New Culture Forum podcast:
"My worry is what happens if Nigel wins the next election and then gets absorbed by the blob on day one, of which there is of course a risk. The latest economic policy from Reform indicates that the risk is much greater than I had previously thought."
One blob creature worries that another blob creature might possibly become a blob creature. Doesn't this guy have enough money to take early retirement?
