Emily Maitlis just killed Jacob Rees-Mogg with words and it’s glorious

John Plunkett. Updated March 29th, 2019

It’s been quite a week for Brexity MPs being savaged on the box. First Krishnan Guru-Murthy did this to Tory MP Ben Bradley, now Emily Maitlis has destroyed his fellow Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg and it’s compulsive viewing.

Plenty of people have been on hand to highlight the arch Brexiteer’s blatant hypocrisy – first decrying and then supporting Theresa May’s rubbish Brexit deal – but no-one’s done it quite so well as this.

Emily Maitlis: "You didn't say well I'm not quite sure – you said it would turn the UK into a slave state and then you consider voting for it!"

More of this sort of thing, please.

Brilliant interviewing from Maitlis. Mogg exposed for his cynicism and vicious irresponsibility. https://t.co/OQaFRTl6tU

You can always tell when politicians are on the back foot as they use the Alastair Campbell move and throw up chaff attacking the BBC
