Jacob Rees-Mogg congratulates Keir Starmer after losing his seat and quotes Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang

Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg has been defeated by Labour’s Dan Norris in the new North East Somerset and Hanham constituency, in yet another blow for the Conservative Party.

The 55-year-old Arch-Brexiteer was elected as the MP for North East Somerset in 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019 – when he achieved 50.4% of the vote and had a majority of 14,729.

But he has now been unseated by Labour’s West of England mayor Dan Norris, who won 20,739 votes compared to 15,420 for Sir Jacob. Turnout for the poll was 69.38%.

Sir Jacob, a father-of-six, congratulated both Mr Norris and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, who he said he “led his party to what seems to be a historic victory”.

Surprisingly gracious, fair play to him.

[cogitatorcat]

Who’s that bizarre travesty of a human being standing next to the guy in a shirt and tie?

[davidv.]

Rather more dignified than Ms. Truss. I have moved over to Reform from the conservatives, but I have to say I have enormous respect for Jacob . He is a class act among todays 3rd and 4th rate MPs

[michaelgibson]

Am hoping the Portillo moment can be renamed the Rees-Mogg moment, given how much JRM would hate being relentlessly associated with failure, but how much he would deserve it!

[portcullis]

Well, I have ro admit that he accepted defeat with more grace and class than looney Liz Truss did; even with a man next to him who was apparently dreassed as a tin of baked beans!😂
I am happy that Jacob will now have much more time to spend with his first, and only love

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT GUY ON THE RIGHT WEARING???

[ian_b]

Always a gracious man. No glum face or bad loser behaviour. A loss to the House.

[x_dolly_x]

THAT GUY WISHED HE WOULD GO VIRAL LOL WHAT A FAIL

[asboukcomfortable]

I was quite fond of the Rees Moggy fellow, he got terrorised by the memes, and the UK pressing!
I wish him all the best! Trust in political drama! 🇬🇧 lol 🇬🇧 😆 🤣 😂

[michaelguckian]

2024 full of surprises, a pop culture reference from Mogg?

[DamiensTrainsandTravels]

Caratacus Potts did not say grow the roses of sucess it was the inventors in their song to Lionel Jeffires character, was hoping Jacob might burst into song....

[ukmachloop]

Totally respectful and fill of class as usual, well done Jacob 🇬🇧

[dps]

[harjitdhaliwal]

[garynicholls]

You have to love Mogg a true English gentleman I would love to see him have a cameo in the next Kingsman film.

Jacob Rees-Mogg aka 18th Century-Mogg is a very strange and unusual individual.

Someone who i dare say has taken himself back to his own time dimension, by TARDIS.

[anicetune]

Unlike Michael Portillo, Jacob Rees-Mogg looks visibly upset. He's quite teary eyed giving that speech.

[ukmachloop]

That constituency should be ashamed of themselves
