Jacob Rees-Mogg was gloriously owned on his GB News show and it’s 9 minutes fabulously well spent
We hesitate to suggest you spend 9 minutes watching Jacob Rees-Mogg on his own GB News show, but for this we’ll make an exception.
It’s the Conservative MP in conversation with political commentator Marina Purkiss and we’re not sure how well Rees-Mogg thought it would go but it went worse, a lot, lot worse.
Stick with it to the end, you won’t regret it.
Don’t want to watch GB News? Don’t worry, you can watch @MarinaPurkiss destroy Jacob Rees Mogg here 👇🏼
This is actually the closest I’ve ever come to pitying him.
Ps: Wonder if he supports fracking due to his alleged financial interests in the fossil fuel industry via Odey? pic.twitter.com/WW4kfuFKnk

And it earned the Twitter equivalent of a standing ovation. Here are just a few of the many, many things people were saying about it.

Several household name BBC journalists should be required to explain why, *for seven years*, they have failed to do what @MarinaPurkiss does here with consummate ease… https://t.co/w93LGoIqhC

I chatted to @MarinaPurkiss about going on JRM’s show and I advised against it. I thought she’s lend him credibility he didn’t deserve merely by debating him.
I was wrong. This is no debate. It’s the complete, joyous destruction of that pompous prig. ~AApic.twitter.com/4Ob42uxk9y

We need more Marinas. That's how you do it. I imagine she's going to come in for a lot of stick from the MMSM (Malicious Mainstream Media) in the coming days; but this is award winning stuff. Thank you Marina, and thank you, Tan for sharing. I love you both!❤️❤️👏👏👏 https://t.co/mdFKF9SLj9

Marina Purkiss went on GB News as a one-off and basically owned their presenter, Tory MP and former Leader of the House of Commons by being polite, but forthright. https://t.co/y9gAwAHlxF

I’m going to be honest, I was not expecting this. I know the lovely @MarinaPurkiss is good but he’s the most proficient conman I’ve ever seen. But she aced him. I’ve never seen or heard him so rattled. All he could do was talk over her https://t.co/DFamUZbABB

The ever-brilliant @MarinaPurkiss absolutely handing Jacob Rees-Mogg's arse back to him on a plate.
My god this was almost a bloodbath. Glorious to watch.pic.twitter.com/ZpRzGanjgo

I’m not saying that this was brutal, but at one point Mogg was considering hiring a marching band to play Abide With Me. Obviously he would have demanded it in Latin. pic.twitter.com/FG4ynxyvOe

Marina Purkiss humiliates Jacob Rees-Mogg.
He fumbles, obfuscates, and shames himself throughout. pic.twitter.com/me6gPpd8d0

Last word(s) to @MarinaPurkiss.
Met with Rees-Mogg
Did the best I could in 9 minutes… https://t.co/RtKwacb1bz
— Marina Purkiss (@MarinaPurkiss) April 25, 2023
Lots of people saying I was rude to Rees-Mogg tonight…
I’m confused
I thought these people were all for “direct critical feedback” and robustly telling people if they’re no good at their job.
Make your minds up, snowflakes.
