Jacob Rees-Mogg Moves For Conservative Party Leadership.

It has everything to do with marriage vows in Corbyn’s case, to speak out for women’s rights, equality for women yet couldn’t accept his wife’s choice of school for their son. She wouldn’t bow to his wishes so he dumped her.

Apologies ab I got my dates wrong about SC. But there is still the issue that trisher raises. SC couldn’t actually prevent her son going to Dulwich - neither could JC prevent his son going to the grammar school. It was part of the reason apparently that the marriage ended probably because it embodies a fundamental point of principle. What’s that got to do with marriage vows?

Hang on
Lady Shami sent her son to an exclusive school two years ago.
but I thought it was her ex-husband who decided (he was privately educated, she wasn't)
So you blame her for his decision and Corbyn for not letting his wife decide. Isn't that a bit conflicting?
Or isn't it simply that sometimes couples disagree, and sometimes one of them has to compromise, and sometimes those disagreements become so bad the couple have to part.
It must be incredibly difficult to decide on a child's education when you are in the public eye, have enough money to pay and want the best for your child.

Granddad, an apology please? I am not a member of the Tory party

Moggy, Moggy, Moggy, oy,oy, oy.

Going back to Lazigirls posting @ 10:00 today, should TM be told to go by the Tory Grandees or should she decide to "throw in the towel" (and who could blame her for that) then there are limitations on who could replace her.

In the above, Outside of Jacob Rees-Mogg we have Bungling Boris Johnson or the Tories leading political backstabber Michael Gove or perhaps the Conservatives leading incompetent Liam Fox.

Among that lot JRM must be in with more than an excellent chance. After all if he can make persons like anniebach laugh, he has to be home and dry with the rest of their small membership, so

Lady Shami sent her son to an exclusive school two years ago.

It does not speak well of Corbyn that he put his marriage vows below a choice of schools , it shows he has no regard for a woman’s wishes. Maryeliza, you speak out strongly for a woman’s right to abort but defend a man dumping his wife because he cannot respect her right to choose a school for her son.

Perhaps because this thread is about JRM

No comment about George Sorros I notice!! Why am I not surprised!!

I'm not sure about the Conservatives not wanting JRM there is a real gap on the right now UKIP and Farage have gone. They may see JRM as a suitably flamboyant figure to follow in Farrage's footsteps (Hey great alliteration!). He does after all embrace many of the same policies. Watch out for photos of him drinking beer in pubs!

The point nn is that she was not involved in politics at that time - stop being so deliberately obtuse - she was not being hypocritical and as for JC - what should he have done? You are being ridiculous. Still it’s easy for your lot because they don’t have any principles to breach as it all about what’s best for them

Your husband wishes it, you comply, and manage to keep your socialist credentials!!! How convenient!! Together with being elevated to the H of L, which, we understand the present opposition profoundly disagree with almost takes your breath away!! Hypocrisy of the highest order I'd say , but I'm sure perfectly justified!!? JC, was even cleverer! It's the wife (now ex) what did it! Nothing to do with me guys!!! Pathetic, on both counts!!

Sorry nearly 20 years ago

Re abs point and children’s education. FWIW I do think that people who choose to go into public life and thereby espouse certain policies eg towards selective education should follow those policies in their private lives. Shami said her husband wanted their son to be educated privately and so she followed his wishes. JC didn’t want his son to be educated in a selective school and it was a major factor in their marriage breakdown and the wife did send the son to the grammar school. Tbf I think it’s difficult in situations like this when what might be best for your child conflicts with the policies your party stands for. I think it speaks well of JC that it was such a point of importance for him. Tbf to SC her decision was made nearly 30 years ago when she was not a political figure.

I agree Lazigirl,

Exactly Lazi that’s why I support him for leader . Moggy Moggy Moggy oy oy oy ????

I can see JRM being popular amongst Tory party members, but can't ever see a majority of MPs voting for him in the first place. It would be too much of a gift to the Labour Party if he was elected.

Tam Dyall was an Etonian, Lady Shami tried to get her son into Eaton

Wonder why George Sorros is prepared to put a very substantial amount of money into trying to scupper Brexit?!! Hardly Philanthropy!!!! Along with the other wealthy elite, self interest comes to mind!! Are they too, filthy and disgusting Grandad?!! If JRM is as you say he is, well, he's certainly not alone!!

It’s probably the same easily pleased people who wanted Boris Johnson for leader, whose ship has hopefully now sailed, who like JRM. They think he looks good on telly and talks the populist talk. The fact that he walks the old Etonian walk isn’t taken into account.

What a shambles the Tory's are in.

Well, with problems mounting for Theriesa May (NI Border issue, Customs Agreement, US Trade Agreement, islamaphobia in the Tory Party to name a few) it would seem that Jacob Rees-Mogg will soon be in a position to run for the Tory Party leadership.

Surly there could never have been such a boost for the Labour party than to see Jacob Rees-Mogg leading the Conservative party since Sir Alec Douglas-Home was chosen as leader by the Tory Grandees.

It was funny, and Corbyn meeting Jerry Adams q

Funny skit about JRM (and his nanny) on “Tracey Breaks the News” BBC1 right now!

I agree with you on what makes a good MP , I will add and a good leader, Corbyn fails miserable
