‘I was brought up in a tougher debating school than you’: Andrew Neil skewers Rees-Mogg on C4 debut

The veteran broadcaster is back with a vengeance!

Andrew Neil clashed heads with Jacob Rees-Mogg as the pair debated windfall taxes for energy companies on his new Channel 4 show.

Last week it was announced Italy would tax the profits of energy companies at 25 per cent to help fund a support package for consumers and businesses that have been hard-hit by soaring energy costs.

The Italian government approved the measure late on Monday along with a €14 billion aid package that includes tax breaks for energy-intensive industries and payments of €200 to about 28 million Italians who have incomes of €35,000 and below.

Prime minister Mario Draghi said: “Today’s measures address the cost of living. Price inflation is dependent to a very large extent on energy prices, and this means that it is a temporary situation that must be faced with exceptional tools.”

Asked whether the UK would consider making similar moves Rees-Mogg said it is absurd to suggest we “model ourselves on the Italian economy.”

But Neil wasn’t having any of it, responding: “You don’t get away with cheap debating tricks like that.

“I went to a tougher campaigning school than you.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
