....more armchair politics (Part 2)

Yebbut “reality TV” isn’t real, is it?

Wondering if he is deluded enough to believe people will be impressed and warm to his world view or if he is oblivious to the fact he is a walking clown skid?

It will have an audience, adverts will be sold and he will be paid. Minds will not be changed. That’s a success for the production company.

Must admit i dont watch any of them, it’s just Hello magazine for TV, low ball shite.

I reckon a turd could be filmed and a TV audience sustained.

In the early days of Big Brother there were large audiences watching people sleep

Easily. After all they keep commissioning new series of Mrs Brown’s Boys.

Correct - The shit pump pumps shit but will the Mogg be viewed as a completely deluded joke or a champion???. When Farage did I’m a celebrity he was very cunning in how he came across - The Mogg however is not a ‘people person’ he is objectionable on sight and sound - He does not give ‘good visuals’ so lets hope he digs a nice hole for himself here.

He is no longer an MP so hopefully he will just disappear up his own hedge fund

Surely he’ll be heading to the HOL.

That will depend on whoever is Tory leader. If Sunak thinks he is a knob he may pull a Dorries on him.

Why would Sunak include him in his honours list? They didn’t exactly get on

The issue for me is that some people thing JRM is an eccentric toff. He will get an audience and people may well succomb to his views presented in a posh voice. There is a school of thought which suggests Johnsonbecame palatable after his regular appearances on HGNFY. The same could well happen to JRM and he will know that.

Johnson and Farage have very different personalities to JRM

I guarantee you they will do the humanise-redemption arc.

The way of the telly.

While this doesn’t delight me, if it means his future is Portilloesque and he settles into a cycle of low impact TV shows and periodic punditry, I’ll take that over him staying anywhere near politics.

I wish Rees Mogg would just fuck off. It’s not like he needs the money.

Starmer says Biden is not too old at 81 and is perfectly competent
Starmer says members of HoL should all retire at 80 as they are all bat shit crazy

While it’s a hot topic and they’ll ask him about it:

a) It’s none of his business what the Amercians decide to do with their legislature
b) He can’t do anything about it.
c) Imagine if he’d said the sitting president was too old :man_facepalming:

The HoL is the inverse position.
