rees mogg, another oily mp up to his eyes in lining his pockets A leading Conservative backbencher has been reported to Parliament's standards watchdog for potentially breaching the rules on declaring financial interests in the House of Commons. Jacob Rees-Mogg spoke in four debates in the Chamber in support of the tobacco, mining and oil and gas industries without declaring that he is a founder and director of a firm with multimillion-pound investments in the sectors. The Commons code of conduct states that MPs must disclose any financial interest or benefit they have, directly or indirectly, if speaking during relevant debates in the House. Mr Rees-Mogg is a founding partner and director of Somerset Capital Management, a firm whose funds hold investments worth £23m in tobacco companies, £3.07m in mining firms, and £2.4m in oil and gas producers. While Mr Rees-Mogg has declared that he is a paid director at Somerset Capital in his entry in the Register of Members' Interests – a job that has earned him more than £500,000 since 2010 – Hansard records show that he made no mention of his connection during the four debates. In a debate on the 2012 Finance Bill, Mr Rees-Mogg raised concerns about increases in tobacco duty that were opposed by tobacco companies, saying: "The measure is regressive and hits some of the poorest people in the country, so should the Government not be concerned?" He did not declare an interest in the industry. In the debate on plain packaging for cigarettes in 2014, the MP for North East Somerset opposed the measures, in line with the industry: "Sir Cyril Chantler notes that it is 'too early to draw definitive conclusions' from what has happened in Australia… As the Government may be taking away a freedom from the British people, ought they not to be more certain of their ground than they can be of the ground they currently have from Sir Cyril Chantler?"
In a debate on the cost of living in 2013, Mr Rees-Mogg voiced his opposition to subsidies for green energy production without declaring his interest in oil and gas investments, saying: "The priority for my constituents is that they should have cheap energy, not that we should insist on large subsidies for theories that some people find attractive and others do not."
Also in 2013, during the second reading of the Deep Sea Mining Bill, he supported the extension of regulations that would permit further deep sea mining. "There may be all sorts of exciting things at the depths of the sea," he said. "There may be endless supplies of gas. There may be oil spurting out as if Saudi Arabia was on the sea bed rather than in Arabia where it is more normally located, and therefore one would find that there is this enormous wealth that could reduce the price of oil to the enormous benefit of our constituents, particularly those in rural seats where the price of petrol is a serious problem. These resources, liquid and gas, could be sucked out of the earth and used to the benefit of our constituents."

Rees-Mogg isn't all bad, intelligent, articulate, witty and at least, unlike Charlotte, he's prepared to stand up and tell the truth about the corrupt EU. I have met JRM several times, I agree with you. He has been very helpful in a campaign I am part of. He speaks to me on the level. The way the press portray him is unfair. I don't agree with Jacob R-M on everything, particularly the EU (I'm all for it), but I admire that he talks to anyone as an equal, is honest with them, and says (with great charm) when he disagrees. He engages with people, rather than spouting platitudes. General feedback is that you know where you are with him. That's a huge improvement on the all things to all men voting fodder that generally gets offered up. He might disagree with you, and say so, but he might also disagree with the party line, and say so. To that extent, despite the Austenesque act, he's actually proved to be far more a man of the people than most. He's an intelligent guy, who thinks for himself and sticks to it. Oh, and he refuses to engage in the character sniping from the other side. We actually need more like that, though preferably of all political views. As for joining UKIP, that's not his style at all.

You say that as if it's a bad thing. MP, about whom no-one has any complaints about his work for constituents or attendance in the House, also maintains real world interests that illuminate a view on the real world. That work includes practically every business sector on the planet. If you think that's a bad thing, you've been sucked in by the politicos. If you disagree with what he said, that might be a basis for engagement.

I thought I covered it. As a a hedge fund manager, he has secondary interests in every sector. If he didn't say that ahead of contributing to every debate, well no big deal in my eyes. Still better him than someone who knows f all about anything other than party games and searching for means to block input from anyone sensible. 'Questionable procedural discrepancy: leave it to someone vacuous instead.' No. Disagree with him on the substance by all means, and I often do, but at least stick to the substance. He does, which is what people like about him, whether or not they agree with him.

As the person who started this thread I now think it is time to close it. When she does her next thing for the club we can start a new thread, but this is now off topic (as in Rovers related).
