Debate between Lord Maude of Horsham and Jacob Rees-Mogg

Monday 26th March 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Maude]

This Prime Minister has not appointed two Cabinet Ministers twice and had to fire them both twice.

[Jacob Rees-Mogg (North East Somerset) (Con)]

Having had the pleasure of listening to my right hon. Friend for almost an hour, may I ask whether he has drawn the same conclusions as me? Has he, too, concluded that there is a lot of synthetic nonsense about this, that the Labour party has its snout in the trough to a far worse extent than we ever did, and that the Prime Minister is to be commended for his honesty, straightforwardness and transparency in revealing the names of all the people whom he has met?

[Mr Maude]

I could try, but I do not think that I could put it better myself.
