Interesting how its only left wing politicians that are lauded for following their principles and using their background and experience to advance their cause.
I've always enjoyed listening to JRM, one of the better parliamentary performers of recent years.

Because the working class struggle for almost everything they obtain. Going to Eton or being born into money isn't quite as good an achievement.
If you can't make success being born into money or starting the race half way down the track, then you're hopeless.

What are your favourite policy positions of his? I have only one that I can think of, and that is his opposition to stripping Shamim Begum of her citizenship, because "she is our problem" (so to speak). I am keen to understand what yours might be, and how you think his background - probably not a common one among the general populace - should inform causes accordingly.

Like many politicians views, I agree with some of his views, not others. I absolutely disagree with his position on Begum.
As I said, looking forward to this. A politician driven by conviction, even if the class warriors don’t like him because, as one resident of this forum would put it, the accident of his birth.
Meet the Rees Moggs down a dark side street with a scythe.
But saying someone has a nice bum is more offensive than this. God help us
Yes. Saying someone "has a nice bum". I don't know why anyone would find that offensive. In person. In a studio where the person saying it has control. It's a bloody mystery.

i gleefully accept this opportunity to fire your "nonsense on stilts" from the other day jibe back at you.
JRM is a very nasty piece of work, a vindictive bully whose real persona is cloaked in a veneer of politeness which fools a lot of the media, including doubtless the shower who produced this. His personal vendetta against Mark Carney should have been a warning signal to sensible conservatives such as you appear to be, but it looks like you fell for his unique charm too. You appear to have forgotten that this toxic matchstick was top of the list of "bastards" that made John Major's task impossible at the time, and sowed the seeds for where the UK is today.
Now I await the self-appointed Thread-Closer-In-Chief, @eastterrace6168 demand to close down a "political thread" under the new regime guidelines, which i reluctantly accept to be necessary. At least this time I had the chance to weigh in before it goes.

I bid you all good day. 😉
Carney politicised the independent BoE. For that reason, it was correct for an elected politician to call him out.
Anyone that Major called bastard is a hero of mine.

Funny that because I completely disagree with his position on Begum.
I believe the result of the vote for the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to leave the European Union made a shed load of money for Rees Mogg’s company Somerset Capital Management. The grifter declared leave was about the myth of ‘sovereignty’ for which the benefits would not be felt for fifty years, whilst the profits for Somerset Capital Management would be felt immediately. Capitalist bastard encouraging voters to destroy a good and decent arrangement, causing more problems in Ireland, for his own benefit. Rees Mogg like Boris Johnson has to pay for a lot of children, so doing a reality programme for money is his grifters way (like being on the television set) to pay for the upkeep of his family. So there you have it, a working class man simply trying to provide for his own in a harsh world (he helped to create).

I don't have an issue with Rees-Mogg being posh and born into wealth. He didn't choose to be born and he didn't control his background and upbringing. I do however have a big problem with his principles. I have a problem that his weird Catholic fundamentalism means that he's against abortion in all cases including incest and rape because he reckons the Pope says so (yet profits from the sale of abortion pills). I have a problem with him opposing same sex marriage for the same reasons. I dislike that he's always been against an elected Lords and the removal of hereditary peers, that he is against measures for reducing climate change which just might be linked to his investments in oil and coal mining, that he votes against smoking bans while having investments in tobacco companies, that he criticised those who perished in the Grenfell disaster for lacking 'common sense' and I dislike that despite him not choosing the circumstances of his upbringing he has leaned into it so far and is very much of the opinion that the haves should continue to have and ideally have more, and the have nots should know their place underfoot.
He has two main principles: Catholicism and money. To be fair, he told us that when he was 12 years old. He loves money and wants as much of it as possible and has used politics to try and guide public policy in a way that will maximise his profits. I don't like that. He can be as weird and Victorian and posh as he wants, that's fine, but I find his principles pretty foul, that's why I don't laud him for them. You're right about the word 'performer' though, he's good at playing his character, in another life if he wasn't so skinny he'd make a great WWE wrestler.
Regardless of policies and political alliances I do tend to think he has a great skill in not rising to the bait / getting angry when being interviewed and challenged. This despite him knowing his behaviours / mannerisms give rise to the attacks / ridicule and comments.
He manages to maintain some level of authority therefore.
Self confidence coming from the back up of wealth I imagine.

Some people just can't overlook their prejudices.
All very weird.
