Watch: Is this Rees-Mogg admitting Brexit isn’t that great after all?

"I didn't have 'Jacob Rees Mogg admits Brexit is a complete failure' on my 2022 bingo card," tweeted Best for Britain.

How is Brexit going for you?

Well it seems Brexit explains 80% of UK inflation – and why it is here for the long run can be read here.

Also Brits have complained about the long queues at Spanish airports and claim Irish citizens are getting ‘preferential treatment.’

So in times of need you would turn to Rees-Mogg for some Brexit bonanza news surely?

Well maybe not.

Remain argument?

He appeared to accidentally make a strong Remain argument during a recent interview with ITV, where he called postponed Brexit measures “an act of self-harm”.

You see checks on food entering the UK that are supposed to be introduced in July were pushed back, not for the first time,to 2023.

“You’re admitting that this could save £1billion, which is admitting that checks would cost £1billion. I thought that post-Brexit checks were not going to be disruptive?” he was asked by the reporter.

“That’s why we’re not adopting them,” he replied. “This would have been an act of self-harm if we’d gone ahead with it.

“It would have increased costs for people and we are trying to reduce costs… free trade is hugely advantageous to consumers.”

Jacob Rees-Mogg has said that the reason the UK government has decided to delay the next round of Brexit red tape is because it would be “an act of self-harm”. Write your own punchline, folks.

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.
