Fly on the wall for Jacob Rees Mogg & family.

He says today in the Telegraph:

“ There is the opportunity to make the subject look ridiculous, which has never been particularly difficult in my case anyway. I also have memories of William Hague’s effort when he was party leader and went down a water slide in a baseball cap.

However, I was persuaded that a series, as opposed to a one-off, would not work as a hatchet job. Viewers would get the point in the first episode and would only watch the rest of the series if they had some empathy with the family. This does not mean that there is no risk, but it is to some extent ameliorated. At least it is not the jungle.”

Lovely to know that Moggy won't have to go down the local JokeCentrePlus and go through endless hoops at a Universal Credit interview now he's lost his "job" in the Commons......

.....So along the lines of The Kardashians you seem to imply Urmstongran. I mean somehow, JRM with pumped up lips, enhanced buttocks encased in lycra isn't something one assisociates with the former Member of Parliament for the 18th century. What can he be thinking of

I shall watch it, providing it’s not on Netflix.

He’s charming and polite so it’ll be like KUWTK but with Earl Grey tea ☕️ I imagine.
It’s going to be on the Discovery. Handel.
320 on Freeview I believe.
I’ll be watching when it’s released. 😁

Handel?? I meant channel.

Each to their own!

I’ve always found him rather peculiar and patronising 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I shall defo watch this.

I will have a watch, I find him fascinating in an odd sort of way.

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes

I too have no time for him. I will share my pins with you Grandmabatty. 😉

He’s eccentric but unfailingly polite. And knowledgeable.
I think it’ll make for good viewing.

Are there any spare pins left?

Really looking forward to this.

Oh, I thought he might go on Strictly.

The Viennese Waltz, the Polka, the Gallopade would all suit him!

Well perhaps those of us who tune in might like to comment about it on this thread going forward? Could be entertaining!

I’ve heard about this, but assumed it was a joke. If it’s real - not a good thing to do to your family.

He would do better to keep his head down and I agree Grandma 70s he should not expose his family to the inevitable backlash !

I will watch it. I like him and his family seem delightful, loads of boys and just one girl. He manages not to let troublemakers and thugs rattle him. I have seen him on several occasions dealing with such people quietly yet firmly and come out on top.

Thanks for the reminder, urms. I think JRM is one of the good ‘uns, like Frank Field. Will be interesting.

Nope, not enthused at all so will give it a miss.

He is very calm and collected and can deal with oafs because he is knowledgeable and totally unflappable. I rather like him.

He doesn't take himself seriously and has a very dry sense of humour. He was hilarious a few years back on Have I Got News For You. 😂

I would find this series rivetting.. he's so eccentric.... but unfortunately I don't have that channel..
