Only 5 replies you need to Jacob Rees-Mogg’s ‘apology’
Jacob Rees-Mogg has issued an apology of sorts after he wrongly suggested Jeremy Corbyn had voted against the Good Friday Agreement which brought an end to the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
We say ‘apology of sorts’ because, well, have a look for yourself.
Mea culpa, I was wrong to say that Mr Corbyn voted against the Good Friday Agreement. He did not.

Here he is making the false accusation on Channel 4 News.
Here’s @Jacob_Rees_Mogg telling a lie on Channel 4 News. Jeremy Corbyn voted for the Good Friday Agreement. One of the few MPs who did vote against it, however, was Rees-Mogg’s hard-Brexit colleague & fellow member of the European Research Group, Desmond Swayne. pic.twitter.com/lm0PKwSLni

Since Theresa May launched her "Fake News" unit:
• Tory MP Ben Bradley libels Jeremy Corbyn.
• Tory Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson slanders Jeremy Corbyn.
• Tory minister Ben Wallace compares Corbyn to Kim Philby.
• Jacob Rees-Mogg says Corbyn voted against the GFA.— EL4C (@EL4JC) March 1, 2018

Why did he lie in the first place? It’s widely known how corbyn voted and he knew he was lying when he said it

"Mea Culpa" is of course Latin for "fuck, I never thought anyone would check".
