Summary
An historic 175 Tories lost their seats at the last General Election. Jacob Rees-Mogg was one of them. Here, the former cabinet minister talks to spiked about why voters turned their backs on the Conservatives, and what he fears a Labour government will mean for Britain. Rees-Mogg slams Keir Starmer’s two-tier policing of riots and disorder and his zealous pursuit of Net Zero. The new PM is set to make Britain poorer, colder and less free, he argues.
