Marina Purkiss masterclass leaves Rees-Mogg licking his wounds following culture war debate

"You're drawing attention to things that don't actually impact people's lives", the political commentator said.

Jacob Rees-Mogg met his match this week after he invited Marina Purkiss in for a debate on his new GB News show.

The former business minister’s suggestion that some see culture wars as being ‘dreamt up’ by right-wingers was skillfully put to bed by the political commentator.

She then outlined why issues such as renaming streets and editing Roald Dahl books has become such a big thing.

“You’re drawing attention to these things that actually don’t impact people’s lives, and the reason you’re doing that is because otherwise people might just focus on the real grievances in their life which are basically caused by your government”, Purkiss said.

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.
