I am livid to see this and well done to Caroline Lucus for calling him out on it.

I wonder how his fans here regard this behaviour?

Imagine a female, possibly even an overweight one ( !) behaving in such a manner or a left winger or Diane Abbott or just about anybody really!! It is quite unbelievable.

In my view his behaviour and lack of respect show everything you need to know about him.

Lessismore Wed 04-Sep-19 12:07:52

Even by his crazed standards , it was extreme.

glammanana Wed 04-Sep-19 12:09:06

Total lack of respect imo.

GillT57 Wed 04-Sep-19 12:11:58

Sneering lack of disrespect for the House, and deliberate too.

Oh the boredom.....zzzzzzz

"I do hope nanny is still up to make my cocoa and put me to bed when I get home....." zzzzzzzz

Yes, I completely agree about lack of respectful behaviour in the house. Do you remember JC mouthing ‘stupid woman’ at TM? I think that was more ‘extreme ‘ than JRM lounging on a seat in an almost empty HOC.

Mogg often used to lie back and snooze when he was on the bank benches. Just more noticeable now he’s on the front bench!

gillybob Wed 04-Sep-19 12:18:53

Well that weasel wouldn't know any better Boosgran but I thought JRM was supposed to have "breeding" grin

Lessismore Wed 04-Sep-19 12:19:19

Yes I remember ,Corbyn is a horrid Marxist idiot. Very very horrid.

Didn't he wear an anorak too?

gillybob Wed 04-Sep-19 12:19:47

Maybe its the "Mog" in him coming out ?

Cats sleep anywhere, any table any chair......

Have you seen the picture turned into a graph of how the government has performed, its great!

Boosgran Wed 04-Sep-19 12:48:56

Completely agree with you Lessimore. Sorry, I don’t know about the anorak?‍♀️

Shoequeen53 Wed 04-Sep-19 13:25:03

Is there no topic that can’t be subverted to criticise Corbyn?

I loved Rees Mogg’s sad little face when the vote was lost, he looked on the verge of tears.

Doodledog Wed 04-Sep-19 13:33:40

Very very horrid hmm

What on Earth has Corbyn got to do with Rees Mogg's contempt of parliament?

Lessismore Wed 04-Sep-19 13:37:03

Nothing, it is my stupid, sarcastic sense of humour. It's pathetic.

Rees Mogg is a disgrace, an absolute disgrace. Who else would dare to lie down like that?

Can you imagine the Mail with pictures of anybody slightly left of centre lying down in such a rude way?

Some particularly funny pictures of The Moggster !

I can't decide which one is my favourite. A toss up between the caravan and her Maj's lap grin

The insolence of self-entitlement. From a man with nothing to be insolent or self-entitles to, offensive.

lemongrove Wed 04-Sep-19 14:00:40

gilly ?

lemongrove Wed 04-Sep-19 14:04:44

Her Maj’s lap wins it for me.?

wouldbegran Wed 04-Sep-19 14:15:43

Well said, shoequeen53 and doodledog.

sunseeker Wed 04-Sep-19 14:21:55

It has been pointed out that JRM is very tall, the loud speakers are placed in the back of the seats which are quite low - perhaps he was trying to ensure that he heard every word that was being said. It should also be noted that the HofC was almost empty at the time so he was hardly stopping anyone sitting down.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 04-Sep-19 14:26:10

There was a furore several months ago when a Labour MP was pictured in a similar position with eyes shut, he was hard of hearing and had positioned himself close to the inbuilt speaker.

There are bigger things to worry about than a slouching MP in an almost empty House of Commons.

They can all stand on their heads stark naked with a flower in their derrières if that is what it will take to sort out this mess!!!!!

Lessismore Wed 04-Sep-19 14:26:44

Oh God, that'll be it. Poor thing, he's tall and there was no rush for seats.

How silly of me not to realise this.

People with all sorts of disabilities seem to manage quite well but yes tall is problematic.

Not a good look however you might like to spin it
