Jacob Rees-Mogg trolled John Major and these 7 people had the perfect comebacks

Former prime minister John Major has had his say on Brexit and it was pretty explosive stuff.

But one person wasn’t happy that Major had weighed in on the debate. And that person was Jacob Rees-Mogg, who said this.

Probably John Major doesn’t want Rees-Mogg’s pity – we haven’t asked him – but these 7 people had the perfect comeback on the former PM’s behalf.

1.

Who won a General Election and was PM for nearly seven years. As against someone who has never held any sort of ministerial office at all. https://t.co/rbJW5cbctP

Ah. 1997. That was the year you garnered 9% of the vote in Central Fife I believe. https://t.co/xyXBbyu2Wk

Heavily rejected in 1997 in favour of the *checks notes* most wildly pro-European Prime Minister in British history. https://t.co/jF6JbZZ9g4

Pity Mister Jacob Rees-Mogg, who was so heavily rejected by the 21st century and has never recovered. https://t.co/qQrmGFcocF

Travelling from the back streets of Brixton to 10 Downing Street without the benefit of patronage or nepotism offends mewling pencils like Rees Mogg because, deep down, they know their own success is built on hereditary privilege rather than any talent. https://t.co/Baw494fwLk

Or if you prefer it pithy …

Pity Rees-Mogg who was born a twat & has never recovered. https://t.co/5vBOJEvOS3
