Arrogant wankers like this guy used to be part of a lunatic, laughed at, fringe.
Now they are centre stage, running policy.
Wtf have we become?
We don’t have any workers rights.
Seems mad we can just get an unelected nutter as PM doing whatever they fancy
Democracy is such a sham in this country it’s not funny
A bonfire of workers rights would be pretty worrying at the best of times, but the fact that Mogg is likely to be at the helm is like leaving a fox in charge of the hen house, he’ll have a field day.
Maureen, 42 has been a cleaner forever and she whole heartedly agrees. She earns £7.40 an hour and she works *so* hard, therefore so must everyone else.
Welcome to the British mentality
Called it. The turkeys really did vote for Christmas.
This has been apparent ever since the Britannia Unchained gang engineered Brexit.
I could be wrong, but I believe Corbyn was the first to use the phrase “bonfire of workers’ rights” in relation to a Tory Brexit? Interesting that his arguments were downplayed and dismissed at the time (even by his own party) but are being borne out now. Maybe if more acknowledgement had been given to the workers’ Remain position (Lemain?) at the time then the referendum might have gone a different way.
The whole country needs to walk out and stay out until this corrupt criminal government is out.
I’m no friend of the unions, or what is euphemistically called “industrial action”, but if this cunt starts to attack workers’ rights then it will propel me to the left.
I live in the adjoining constituency to Rees-Mogg, and as I think my own is pretty safely LD, I will be campaigning to unseat him in the next GE. It will need either LD or Lab to take the lead (they came almost equal 2nd last time) but he is beatable. If Labour lead, then as a LD member, I shall be working on their behalf.
hope he enjoys a bonfire of his poncy mansion
Good. The Tory supporting country deserves to lose everything.

Can’t stand him.
Posh out of touch twat that needs to be sent to the tower of London and left there.
How do they have the gall to say this is their plan? This is the kind of evil underhanded nasty thing they’re meant to do in the shadows and implement last minute or sneak on with other legislation.
They clearly think they’ve won absolute power and can just act with impunity. And to be honest, they’re not fucking wrong are they? 12 years of this shit and we keep electing them. How much will it take to get shot of them?
I’m honestly terrified.
Germany lost the war, the nazis not so much.
Looks like and has the mannerisms of a privately educated nonse!
What specific changes to worker’s rights are being proposed? I read the article and it seemed to be quite heavy on vague conjecture. It mainly seemed to talk about scrapping the 48 hour working week.
Think it’s time I start looking for other nationalities in my ancestry and get the fuck out of this country before it burns to the ground.
I suspect Truss is going to find herself impotent in a lot of her policies, but maybe I’m wildly hopeful in thinking that they’ll be a few dozen rebel MPs in the conservative party.
Truss wasn’t the leader MPs voted for or wanted, Sunak was leading her 2:1 almost with MPs.
Quite hopeful that within four months she has no choice but to call a general election as she wouldn’t have majority support in parliament for a lot of her policies.
I know things making sense isn’t top of the Truss agenda but coming in as a mid term replacement for an elected leader you’d think she would be desperate to try and win some votes, almost everything policy wise is surely driving people away, who tf is she appealing to, a play for big donors?
Are the Tories wanting people to riot?
Project fear people. Brexit means brexit. And some other shit like that.
Because pissed off, exploited workers are bound to improve productivity, right?
So what’s the likelihood that this deregulation would be something that being an EU member would protect us from?
Where are your sunlit fucking uplands now, brexiters? Look what you lot did to your own country.
This government really, really wants us to be Little America, don’t they? When Brexit happened I remember telling people that this will spell the end of workers’ rights and that we’ll have fewer holidays, less protection from being sacked, little to no sick pay, etc.
No, they won’t do that, they said. Our workers’ rights are *better* than the EU’s, they said. I’m really hoping I don’t get to say “I told you so”.
Only two more years of these cosplaying UKIPers to go. No way are they winning the next GE, and that is probably the plan. Screw everything in their favour over the next two years, labour then have to clean up the mess while the Tories blame them for everything from the safety of the back benches.
Don’t forget that the photo for this article was orchestrated by the Victorian Pencil so that when you google “Jacob Rees-Mog, lying in parliament” this is what you get in the top results.
Misleading headline, it’s **everyone’s** rights, calling it workers rights is an attempt to split people into malleable groups, or lying by cherry-picking
And there driving people like me closer and closer to suicide and then have the audacity to wonder why drastic things like that are happening. Mogg is such an incredibly religious man so to literally not give a shit about those under him, (you know like what the fucking bible suggests you should do for those less fortunate than yourself), the man is a waking double standard.
At this stage, Jacob Reese Mogg just seems like a villain that stepped out of a Neil Gaimen graphic novel and probably has Morpheus trying to catch him.
In their dreams.
The country is already a tinderbox with energy price rises, if they are that brazen and go down that particular road, the country will just go pop.
Rees-Mogg is only 53. That’s the same age as Will Smith. He’s even younger than Noel Gallagher.
Somecunt needs to put that cunt back in his time machine and send him back to the 19th century
We used to look at the US with pity, wondering when they would socially evolve. Now we are devolving to become like them?
Keep pushing everyone further into poverty and people are going to snap. It wont be a bonfire of workers rights, it’ll be a bonfire of the Tory’s HQ when the riots break out.
We need to destroy workers so that their betters don’t feel the pinch this winter, and have to forgo their skiing holiday in alps
I got a 20% pay rise at my temp job after 13 weeks due to EU agency worker rules. Guessing that rule will be one of the first to go lol.
This is the last ‘smash and grab’ of legislation before they are kicked out at the next election. The next 2.5 years will be dire (plus the years after to fix the mess).
Another element of “Project Fear” becoming reality.
The Tories must absolutely hate the British people.
You mean the party that has been attempting to erode workers rights for over 100 years is planning on eroding workers rights?
Fucking shocked
You get what you vote for, looks like Brits never really wanted those pesky “rights” things
Cannot overstate how much I despise this creature. Everything wrong in our country’s political system distilled down to this lazy, arrogant streak of piss.
If you ask me he and his mates should all be on TOP of bonfires
Can’t someone just punch this weirdo full on in the face? They’d be speaking for the nation I’m sure.
Yes I do get the impression that there is a 19th Century woodblock of local villain Jacob Rees Mogg terrorising children. He is a remarkably strange man from his wanting to be whipped by the Catholic church, listening to Gregorian chants on his Mp3 player and his numerous offspring who have the whole Children of the corn look.
It looks like he is again looking for Victorian values like putting small children up chimneys and making six year old children work in mill 14 hours a day and having to pay for any damage to the machines if their arms get ripped off.
