Jacob Rees-Mogg says there were 9 million economically inactive in 2010 and now in 2024 it is 9.25 million So what he's saying is that the Conservative party who ran the country for 14 years were unable to make active the 9 odd million who are, for whatever reason, inactive - ThreadSky

Every single cell in my body wants to destroy this man, with prejudice. His every gesture and sound reeks of empty, entitled superiority, the kind of which I was always taught to reject and be the opposite of, i.e. substantive.

JRM photo really belongs on the side of a milk carton

I wouldn't be surprised if facts played a very minor role in whatever JRM says.

What he is saying is that Labour have added 250k to that figure since July and done nothing about the 9 million and should be ashamed. Or some other gaslighting shite.

So they’re a failure. Seems reasonable. Why is that reality tV person on the panel?

14 years to make employers treat disabled staff with respect, to make childcare affordable, to modernise with home working, and he and his mates ran screaming the opposite way.

happygran2019.bsky.social•90 days ago

Why is he even on a supposedly current affairs programme? Is anyone interested in what this out of touch rich guy has to say?

xcivxciv.bsky.social•90 days ago

This stat is very misleading anyway once you break it down and strip out those who can’t work, it includes unpaid carers etc.

The Tories were more inactive. He just lay, and lied on the benches.

Who knows what he’s talking about, all I heard was Jeeves where’s my tea

And after 4 months in office running a virtually bankrupt, run down, isolated nation with minimal resources and a crushed infrastructure, according to Tories it now is all Labours fault for not using their Harry Potter magic wand to fix it overnight

How many of those are pensioners?

nicoledso.bsky.social•90 days ago

None- they are under 65 but does include students, carers, disabled etc

I wonder what he thinks about the economically inactive in his social echelon: I'm sure there are plenty of non working ladies (based on my experience of living near a gated community, and our children attending the same school; SO many mums didn't work!).

Precisely. Mogg is a fool.

I can't listen to the pretentious gob shit.

He's the lovechild of a Victorian lamppost and a bucket of jiz.

How many in the UK are pensioners, ill ppl, neuro divergent etc.

sandratofriends.bsky.social•90 days ago

OK on a quick look on these 3 things it it 12.9 M pensioners, 4.5m, ill and 2.5 ND, inactive. Although some will be working and some may be able, I'd say the majority that can, do. R Moggy trying to demonise elderly/sick as per.

mshaw668.bsky.social•90 days ago

He failed to state how many Tory tax dodgers there were.

penny-ae.bsky.social•90 days ago
