Jacob Rees-Mogg being brutally schooled on his own GB News show is today’s most satisfying watch

Now that former leader of the House of Commons is no longer a Conservative MP, his second job – presenting a show on GB News – is now his primary gig.

And while we’d hesitate to ever point you in its direction, in this case we’ll make an exception.

It’s broadcaster, writer and historian Tessa Dunlop giving Rees-Mogg and his fellow former Tory MP John Redwood a little bit of what for, and it’s just magnificent.

Just giving my new friends @johnredwood and @Jacob_Rees_Mogg a little lesson on the economy.

And here’s just a little bit of the whole lotta love people had for that.

Blimey, well done

Oof, this is beautiful.@Tessadunlop effortlessly roasts both Rees-Mogg and Redwood on 14 years of economic failure, why austerity 2.0 won’t work, and how the ideology of Brexit spiked the UK economy whilst giving a second economic boost to Dublin.pic.twitter.com/jC7825GzRN

Re-watching this I can’t help but be impressed with Tessa’s delivery – hardly pausing for breath lest Mogg gets a chance to leap in and trample over her point(s). A masterclass. https://t.co/4Ov235qjRA

Well done Tessa and thank you for saying so.

However, I sometimes wonder if it is even worth talking to or engaging with these two charlatans who have caused so much harm to the UK.

And this made it more impressive.

Thanks. I rehearsed on the tube. You cant be too prepared in life and I was lumbering under the desperate side effects of a sleeping pill.

And also this.

Actually John thought he had won the debate.

What’s the colour of the sky in your world, John Redwood?

This is FABULOUS. https://t.co/731aA0C0Eh
