Jacob Rees Mogg on why the Rule of Law is a core part of British democracy
Jacob Rees Mogg, Leader of the House, will speak for the Tories in the reconvened, by Supreme Court order, House of Commons on Wednesday.
According to reports he has called the Court judgement a ‘constitutional coup’.
Mr Rees Mogg really ought to consult his own book The Victorians (2019)
In the introduction he writes of ‘the good fortune of Britain, as a nation blessed by being the first to receive the benefit of a good Constitution and the rule of law’.
He goes on to note that ‘Democracy, the rule of law, the rights of property and freedom of speech led for the Victorians and for us, to a stable and prosperous state.
While it is pleasing to see that Rees Mogg supports the Rule of Law he must understand surely that in order for the concept to work it must be seen to apply equally to all, even to Joris Bohnson
