‘It is historically false that elections are won from the centre.’ Former MP Jacob Rees-Mogg (Jacob Rees-Mogg) on why the Tories win on proper conservatism, not centrism

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Ignores Major, Blair and Cameron

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg 👏

@FraserNelson @Jacob_Rees_Mogg I would be happy to never hear the name Rees Mogg for the rest of my life !

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Nothing like a looser telling us how to win.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg *Thatcher=Majority *2014 EU Elections=UKIP won *2015 Promise of a referendum=First majority since Thatcher *2019 EU Elections=Brexit Party won *2019 Get Brexit Done=Majority The right can only win comfortably from the right.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Let's talk about the elections of the past 50 years - skips the 27 years from 1992 - 2019 because they didn't suit his narrative. A deeply unserious ex-politician

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Conservatism is centre-right, it has been for at least 90 years. Mogg and his equally disgraceful father are not conservatives, they never have been, neither have Braverman, Patel or Truss. They are UKIPers hiding in a more popular party as a means to getting elected.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Why should we takeany notice of this has been

@FraserNelson @Jacob_Rees_Mogg Correct. And the idea that they are is based on a false & naive reading of the relevant theory.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Quite the cherry picking going on here...
