Jacob Rees-Mogg Silenced a caller who labels him a ‘Hypocrite’

Jacob Rees-Mogg leaves Ferrari in stitches with BRILLIANT 'hypocrite' retort JACOB REES-MOGG silenced a listener who had called in to his LBC show to label him a ‘hypocrite’, saying: “if you’re going to make aggressive charges, don’t you think it’s not a bad idea to get your facts right first? Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Conservative MP North East Somerset and leading Brexiteer, shot back at the caller, who accused Mr Rees-Mogg’s company, Somerset Capital Management, of opening a new office in the Republic of Ireland to avoid the consequences of Brexit. The caller accused Mr Rees-Mogg of being “probably the biggest hypocrite that I’ve ever known.” Mr Rees-Mogg chuckled before replying: “It doesn’t have a new office in Dublin, it has a fund in Dublin. “We have funds all over the world to meet the requirements of our investors “Lots of investors like to have a structure that is in an independent jurisdiction, and that’s why we’ve set up a Dublin-based fund. “It’s been in the pipeline since before we had the vote on leaving the European Union. “We’ve got a London office and a Singapore office, but we won’t have a Dublin office." The caller insisted that Mr Rees-Mogg was lying and the company was setting up an office in Dublin, adding: “I’m not going to change my view.” Mr Rees-Mogg coolly replied: “You come on and you bandy around charges against politicians. “You then listen to the answer and say you know something that simply isn’t true. “Can you find some evidence for us setting up an office in Dublin, and can you then send it in? “If you’re going to make aggressive charges, don’t you think it’s not a bad idea to get your facts right first?” Mr Rees-Mogg was forced to defend his firm’s decision to set up an investment vehicle in Dublin earlier this month, as critics accused the staunch Brexiteer, who has argued for a no-deal Brexit, of hypocrisy for the move. A prospectus for the new business, which will be goverend by EU rules, cited Brexit as a risk, saying it would cause "considerable uncertainty". The prospectus also warned clients of the dangers of a hard Brexit, saying it would "increase costs" for investors.
