The new Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg has instructed all staff in his new office to use imperial measurements and refer to ‘non-titled males’ as ‘esquire’.

Issuing a style guide in the first week of his job, he also bans colleagues from using various words in correspondence with other MPs and the public.

Among the list of bizarre rules, he asks staff not to use the words “got”, “very” or “equal”.

Nicknamed the ‘Honourable Member for the 18th Century', Mr Rees-Mogg is known for his formal dress and love of tradition.

In a long list of dos and don’ts, he also asks that all MPs are addressed with the title Esq after their name and tells staff “CHECK your work”.

The EU has issued several directives over the decades asking member states to use metric measurements.

The UK has been a late adopter of the system, continuing to use miles rather than kilometres on road signs, for example.

Mr Rees-Mogg makes clear he would prefer staff to always use imperial measurements, most of which were phased out from the mid-1960s.

:clap1:

educate the riff-raff

Twot.

Fair enough the first list is basic grammar, people should be aware of. That list of banned words is just ridiculous.

Banned "Invest" (in schools etc) The irony is too much. :joker:

What an absolute berk!

King <3

The use of "absolute" is incorrect

Disgusting man

Arsehole

Hopefully he will piss off into the political wilderness.

Massive Twat esq.

Johnson's just brought him out of that sadly Kate.

Yes sadly. A right bunch of twonks together.

Did Nigels slot on LBC tonight. One of the few politicians who will deal direct with the GBP with no safety net. Top man and excellent politician and businessman

:clap1:

Does MP stand for “massive prick” in his case

Hopefully, its not an ongoing situation, that would be unacceptable. I guess we will ascertain that very soon, but I wouldnt want to speculate.

"Esquire" sounds like "is queer" so you can stealthily insult people 8-)

I like Esquire, it's a bit old fashioned but you can say it at the end of someone's full name instead of prefacing it with "mister"

If there is one person who knows all about style its Rees-Mogg

Does that room have a secret door? The wall has hinges...nanny's sex dungeon?

Let's face it, he looks like a vampire

He looks like someone who used to burn ants with a magnifying glass but has progressed to crushing hamsters.

Yeah I guess you can if you're homophobic

Successful family man. One we should all aspire too. Please take note younger people. Study and work hard and the world is your oyster (and champers)

Yes, work hard and you too can make other people poor!

Making a Murderer: Part 3

A successful family man that refused to change of his kids nappies

Don't you work in a bookies

How many nappies have you changed?

Yes, I hold people at gun point and force them to enter.

He doesn't have kids.

Are you asking him to change nappies of random babies?

He's not Chinese. :nono:

None because I don’t have kids, every parent should change nappies at some point though

It'sa cultural tradition :nono:

I see nothing at all wrong with it. I'd like to see all MPs show what guidelines they issue to staff. One MP asked his staff to make sure his A4 letters go out in A5 envelopes, butt don't fold the letters, he wanted the letter to "spring open" as they came out of the envelope.

The banned words are also welcome, I reckon, because quite a few of those words and phrases have appeared on Bullsh1t Bingo cards that I've seen, and indeed played, in Westminster.

I feel like we're getting quite near the bottom of the insults barrel, aren't we.

i knew the FBOTs legislation had hit betting shops hard, but not that hard

His Nanny
does that

Imagine if someone was getting lambasted because he is a working class man. I'd be outraged.... and so would a lot of people on here. But it's perfectly fine to rip the piss out of anyone who has more money than you and/or is of a higher social class. Rees Mogg is a good politician, when he's lambasted in the street by some socialist or other, he always talks to them, crosses the street to talk to them... unlike many politicians who would scuttle away. I'm also intrigued why some people on a forum think they can object to the way his family runs, without knowing the first thing about it, other than... it's different from yours.

Nobody's ripping the piss out of his bank balance or class.

They're ripping the piss out of his pretentiousness and falseness.

The comment on his family aside, of course.

Agree with this Livia,it amuses me the amount of jealousy that is bubbling under in so many that they have to pull apart anyone who has money,has worked hard and seems to be a really nice gentleman, so what if he dresses nice,and speaks well,its what many should aim for then they might get the same chances he had, plus surely all that matters is that he does his job well and i see n reason to doubt him yet, pisses me off when others sit back and rip hard working people to shreds.
