- Brexit minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has been mocked for acting like an “overgrown prefect” after he put notes on the desks of civil servants believed to be working from home rather than being in the office.
Sir Keir Starmer highlighted support for a windfall tax from senior Tory MPs in the Commons on Wednesday.
“On the other side, the Member for North East Somerset,” the Labour leader added.
“When he is not sticking notes on people’s desks like some overgrown prefect...he’s dead set against it,” he said, sparking a wave of laughter.

MP's salaries should be capped at 150% of the UK average - and expenses capped at 50% of salary - performance related pay.
You watch how quickly we would all be better off then.
Expenses are necessary to be able to the job. Accountability for those expenses is a different matter.
@@Blazedreptile MP's can claim rent, council tax and other household running costs for a second property in London.
How about, like most of us in the private sector, give them no choice other than a nightly budget for a hotel. They shouldn't be entitled to a house, and there is no good reason for them to claim for one.
@@mattstevenson5849 security is the first one that popped to mind not just for them but for documents etc. Council tax is maybe different but still it's a tiny amount of money. The real issue is should they be able to have second jobs like working for a newspaper for example.
I think Mp's should be paid a lot, like £250k maybe more. That way, the people most able to run the country well would come away from the private sector where they earn big money. However there is a caveat, the £250K is ALL they are allowed, no bungs, no bonuses, no presents, no bribes and definitely no second jobs !
@@JodyHwd Do you know anyone earning this sort of salary that doesn't vote Conservative ?
Business leaders are saying they can pay a windfall tax. Conservatives are saying no big business can keep their excess profits
I think the government will introduce a number of measures to help with the increasing cost of living including tax cuts. The windfall (one time only) tax suggested will raise @ £3bn which equates to @ £120 per household, which although welcome isn't very much. Did you realise it was little ?
@@jjefferyworboys8138 Why is that limited to only £3bn? Energy companies profits have increased by more than that each, not combined. The argument about them investing profits in future infrastructure has been used for decades and has been proven to be false, they just don't do it.
There are other things that could be done, such as close tax loopholes, increase capital gains tax and take the upper limits off taxes (such as inheritance) which were put there to protect the rich from paying the same percentage as the average people.
And another thing, the recent rise in national insurance was a deliberate attack on working people. Business owners, people who live off investments and landlords don't pay NI, only people who are employed pay NI.
Rees Mogg is far too busy identifying Brexit ‘wins’ to be bothered about stupid things like rampant inflation.
Make it voluntary then?
That was actually a funny joke by Starmer there. Ok
Mogg thought so too, he was chuckling away, a sign of strength of character to be able to laugh at yourself
@@weeblywinkleman6410 It is. Actions speak louder though and character isn’t actually very important unless it’s real.
@@monkeytron5061
You think Reese Mogg affects a character to gain some public acclaim?
Tax big oil and gas. Support working people!
A windfall tax on energy companies would raise @ £3bn, which equates to @ £120 per household and whilst welcome isn't very much.
It's not the bonanza that some people think.
as a grandad that went to boarding school I found Starmer's
overgrown prefect comment has Mogg in a nut shell,it's
a perfect discription of his I'm an important boy behaviour.
Posh boys hate it when people who don't talk the way they do are actually more intelligent than them
JRM= upper class tawt
A rat that thinks he's upper class!!
If they all agree these bosses yet the PM won't he obviously in on it , big brown envelopes all around 📩💵
Very well said SIR KIER STARMER!!!!
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Ooh lord snooty wouldn,t like being called that .
Kool aid seems to be the favoured drink for the Tories
It would be interesting to know how many of the Tory MP'S, who are opposed to the windfall tax, have shares in these companies and are therefore looking forward to a nice payout
Good one !
Not forgetting liebour mps as well 🤥
@@susanblundell6750 yes ,when that vote against Boris it not for Labor they just want the lier to go !
Anyone with a pension will have their money tied up across the biggest companies.
@@blue_jay31 there both liers, but starmer the hypocrite is on another level 🤣
Overgrown Prefect ! … perfect
Don't people usually revert to personal insults when they have nothing relevant to say
harry potter felt that
Prefects have existed long before Harry Potter.. Most private schools have Prefects and Head Boy/Girl. Pompous bullshittery at the end of the day.
Starmer behaving like a stunned mullet.
Tax the energy companies, arrest this government for stealing £9b in dodgy PPE loans
That's the most galling bit, I'm so angry, upset and sad that that's just sweeped under the rug, no arrests, nothing. Meanwhile my nan is cutting back on heating. Bastards.
which MPs and which contracts specifically ?
@@crispyduck1706 there was the one handed out to the owner of Mat Hancock's local pub. I'm sure he had extensive experience in PPE delivery and not just trying to make a quick buck by acting as a middle man. I mean, that can't be the case because proper commercial scrutiny would have weeded that out straight away. Oh, hang on a minute, there wasn't any scrutiny was there!
There's also the one handed out to Michelle Mone's (conservative member of the house of lords) husband.
Both contracts didn't actually provide any PPE to health workers but they did provide a taxpayer funded cash boost to the already inflated bank accounts of conservative MP's chums.
@@crispyduck1706 I am angry at that money being spent, the allegations of inappropriate allocation, the admittance of mistakes being made, the parroting of "well it was covid, so we should absolve any mistakes and forget about the money", and no public inquiry, the avoidance of scrutiny.
So, what am I saying? I won't name someone and expect justice, I will name someone (Matt hancock and his family's business) and expect a very public embarrassing inquiry to restore my faith that we are doing the best we can during this cost of living crisis.
Hell, even if it was just the gov commingout and saying we have decided 90% of that money was fair to claw back, and we have. because right now we have picked the public as the losers and shielded these contractors from making any loss. I don't think that's right.
@@crispyduck1706 Hancock, Rees Mogg, Fabricant.
The energy companies should pay major windfall taxes and then this should be passed onto the uk tax payers to help pay the extortionate price increase
Oil companies have to keep investing because they need to find new sources of oil to replace the ones they emptied. And having more capacity means it forces prices down which is no incentive. So its a big lie to prop up a hard right win ideology that oil firms need the excessive profits to invest more
They've been saying it for decades and profits keep going at the expense of the end user
Come the revolution brothers and sisters, friends, comrades, come the revolution!! ✊
Lmao. Funny. Rees mogg needs a good seeing to.
These tories are done.
It has reduced investment in mature oil fields (there being few fresh ones) in the North Sea. The profits are not worth the tax squeeze.
Kier Srarmer has the necessary tools to face those sickening Tori’s 👍🏿
Least RM knows what a woman is. Same old rubbish.
Starmer is a tool, that's undeniable.
At least spell tories right
@@maderleinethomas4213 We both know Mogg would break out in nervous babble if a woman even spoke to him though.
@@00pugsly48 what is that supposed to mean?
Brilliant
Perfect jibe at the 17th century coat hanger…
Excellent summary of the ree smog!
Mogg was pointing out the laziness of non attending civil servants.🤔
Yes .like he never takes time off .let's not forget this out of touch Dickensian idiot doesn't think we should have paid holidays . Taking us back over 100 years for basic rights our parents and grandparents fought for . Think next time before you defend the out of touch prefect
It's about keeping tory donors happy - the ones invited to those wild buffoon hosted tory parties while we couldn't congregate to say goodbye to our loved ones.
INFLATION AT 9% WELL DONE BORIS, YOU CLOWN
they have not got a clue
Someone should stick a note on Smuggs forehead the next time he falls asleep in parliament.
Jacob Rees Mogg is Living in the 19th Century 🎩
I can see Barry hiding behind him. Where's the 500,000k ?
Rees-Mogg is the barmaid's idea of a toff. He acts like an effete aristocrat but his mother was solidly working class and his father was middle class. Hasn't he done well!
Must be hard to do well having a Lord as a father.
@@00pugsly48 I think we will see Rees-Mogg elevated to the Lords eventually. He may even cadge an hereditary peerage. I think they are much more expensive than life peerages though.
Ah yes, Re: Smug. The biggest lounge lizard in the business, whom I wouldn't trust as pencil monitor in an infant's school.
Josef Schitiz - I haven't heard that one before. Still smiling. Regards NZ
@@joanne4758 Well, he'd just need to attempt a smile at the pencils and the graphite would just crumble.
How dare you say that about the great Jacob Greased-Hogg
@@stevec6427 I'm sure he knows where bacon comes from.
Captain snotty Mog.
Starmer has neither the intelligence or debating ability to go head to head with JRM.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 don't talk daft, he'd wipe the floor with him, you know why?, unlike most of the tories, he doesn't tell porky pies.
That's actually pretty funny
What does prefect mean in modern Britain? I know the world from Roman history, but not it's current meaning. Something to do with private school?
Yes, a student who has responsibility for keeping order in the school. Although not just in private schools.
@@johnh6524 Thank you. No such thing that I am aware of here in the US. Not a position I would enjoy, either. I get the impression they are not much liked.
@@PtolemyJones yes it is in the US they're called the hall monitor.
@@alwaysOPEN4business Not what any hall monitor I knew ever did, they just made sure you weren't int he hall way between classes without permission. Doesn't sound like the same thing to me. Neither does 'crossing guard'.
Keir did mean it as in Public School , since Mogg plays on the way the establishment elites like himself are worshipped by the lowly people.
I don't think Mogg has the epidermis for Comprehensives.
They are acting like schoolboys except they are not acting!
JRM talks so slow you can go to the toilet come back & he has not finished his sentence
That recce mog gives me the creeps
The Liar vs The Swot!
🤣
the overgrown prefect, like the haunted pencil, has a certain ring to it.
Traitor Mog must go via the backdoor for good
Starmer is getting into his stride at last - keep it up Keir we need a fiesty Opposition!
Which bit did Sir starmer said that wasn’t the truth?
the way he delivered it, no conviction , makes you wonder yes?
Too many scroungers coming from the EU
Forget politics just try and make fun of someone .
Rees-Smugg, a waste of organs! 🥸
9 percent? What the hell
God help us if this clown & his cronies ever got into #10...
Sry Starmer he is on the right side of it,it's their own interests that they are worried about,windfall tax means less for them in shares and money with the companies they have interests in,they don't want to pay tax under normal circumstances let alone have a windfall tax put onto them
A small bit of my pension income comes from gas/oil cos. The coming year I would hope the increased profits would help bring the pension income a bit more close to its liability obligation. You will remember that BP has taken huge losses in the US during the past few years - to the point where it looked as if the co. would fail. Do you think the state should support BP for those years? I don't. I do however think their higher level tax on profits is warranted. Not windfall.
@@marjoriesherrington2772 exactly,if they can make that amount of profit then the should be taxed accordingly not used as an excuse that if they tax them more they won't invest in this country,they will invest because they need to,us public keeps these companies goin
Of course Mogg is an overgrown prefect, that's the problem with Eton and schools like it- there are those like Mogg, Johnson, etc who have never quite moved on from their school days, mainly because they haven't had to.
Sir Starmer is just the establishment's pet but in another guise, the giveaway is in his title. If you think he will change anything, you are much mistaken and deluded. You fail to understand that you now live in a fascist corporate-run Britten.
Its difficult to take your comment seriously when you can't spell BRITAIN correctly.
He earned his title for his public service. He grew up on a council estate, but worked hard and achieved his full potential. No silver spoons in his mouth.
Well aren’t we all fortunate to have rumcelt from RUclips weigh in and tell us all what’s what?
@@radman8321 He's also Born and Bred in England unlike the narcissistic yank who's had his career path laid out for him by mummy and daddy. Maybe Patel should send him back to the US where he could perhaps get a suit to fit him properly.
You can't even spell 'Britain'
Starmer as genuine as s nine Bob note
Stamer could not taunt a stick of celery
Give Starmer his due he nailed it this time.
Wow just think about it..... Those politicians get paid a heck of a lot of money to get humiliated like that in public... I would rather be poor and living in a apartment if you want my opinion.
That’s their angle, they don’t feel shame regardless of the money.
They expect the poor to feel shame and disappear.
Tough 💋
Train announcer mr beergate
Nice one starmer some more of that please. That is how to take the tories apart
'Overgrown prefect'. Now, that was good.
U must b deluded if u think labour is the Answer
Says the boring 7w47
Stop foreign aid and tax credits to EU MIGRANTS. Job done
'Sticking notes on desks like some overgrown prefect', how's that funny?
Because Mogg is an officious busybody who expects people to adopt his outdated and inefficient practices. Time we all moved into the 21st century.
perhaps a good beer would have helped Starmer he seems to like working and drinking
and you seem to like distorting truth, troll.
Just cut VAT to 17% across the board! Time for a beer & curry!
There is a strong case for its removal from domestic fuel and then an across the board reduction to 15%, leaving the option to cut if further open.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 Wonderful Jeffery! do you know Rishi 😚. 👍
Well done keir
no balls bojo
No one would trust Starmer as a prefect
Not gammon enough for you?
@@seriousoldman8997 nice one
If Starmer had half the intellect of Rees-Mogg some of us might take him seriously. But not many.
Having a posh voice and going to Eton doesn't automatically equal great intellect.
😀😀😀
People always revert to personal attacks and insults when they realise they have nothing of any real worth to say. GJ Starmer
Starmer what is the inflation of the individual Countries of the EU
Some are more than the UK
But again your and Labour want to
SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND SPEND with no plan to to pay back
Plus all the seats lost from Tories to Labour when will you increase taxes
The average inflation of the EU is 7%. UK is currently at 9% which is a massive difference. The biggest economies in EU which the UK is meant to compare with- Germany,France, Italy and Portugal have a far lower inflation to date, france is actually half the inflation. So UK is now comparing itself to the poorest EU members ? Depserate brexiteers will remain desperate. Their comparison is romania and not france or germany loool. Donkeys
@@TheSoulblinded
What B/S
You are telling me that France inflation is
4.5 %
What B/S
Spain Was 9.8% in March
Holland or Denmark was over 12%
Again you use the EU as a group which gives great figures
Germany France and Spain all Admitted that they lost over 32% of trade with the UK
But the EU stated that the EU lost just over 25%
Tell me
Is the EU a Country????
Do we trade with the EU or Individual Countries????
I know that Answer
Where is most of our trade go to
And where we the UK buy from
Mainly 8 Countries
If we ban all EU fishing boats in our waters who will suffer the EU or Individual Countries????.
UK 9% and still going up
Cat got your tongue now Colin
The tories spent half a trillion on chicken flu
Mogg has integrity ,manners, notes on desk because these politicians are at home claiming all they can,,Mogg should be the bar to meet he makes English language like poetry,,, and not pretend to be left and pc.... keep it up Mogg
And dines with Fascists.
Yes I’m sure he really cares about you too…
Yeah he politely talks bullshit!
@@kevinjohnson3782 he has started draining the swamp,, he is not pm but has told civil servants the free money stops , free money is never free . tax payers have to pay for everything, he is keeping it real,,, hopefully House of Lords will get mogged by the Mogg, no one else has done anything
@@oliverbath1892 could be worse labour who make no decisions in power,,, except get the U.K. under EUSSR rule, give more power to EUSSR, what use are politicians who are ruled by EUSSR , follow EUSSR , Luckly brexiteers got U.K. out ,,,,imagine covid without furlough ,,, what EUSSR state paid furlough? ,,, imagine that.

Hey Tory voters! Tell me again how Starmer would be worse!
Lucky starmer and the labour party aren't in power nobody would be at work
Awww bless, are you getting worried that your hero Boris will be replaced by Starmer?
@@garagenigel more chance of him being replaced by Margaret thatcher you silly boy
What a prat starma is not a clue
Mogg is a rock star !!! LOve his posh madness
while him and his party are ripping you off😀😀😀
What planet are you from
Inflation was nearly 30% under labour. Again Starmer is a hypocrite.
When was that? It was 8.4% in 1978 during the workers strikes of the winter of discontent. Labour lost to Margaret Thatcher the following year. So now inflation is 9% and Boorish Johnson's party look like the next government to fall to inflation.
What year was that?
Lol. What century was that? And on which planet?
you need to concentrate on now.
