Jacob Rees-Mogg blasted an Extinction Rebellion (XR) protester who stage bombed a speech he was giving today (May 15) by slamming him with a "loony" remark. The North East Somerset MP had his speech disrupted by an activist during the National Conservatism Conference in London.
Shortly after he started speaking, a man joined Rees-Mogg at the lectern and told the audience "I would like to draw your attention to a few characteristics of fascism". The MP then said to the climate activist "you can have loony conference next week".
It was not the only disruption of the day as two more XR activists targeted a speech made by Home Secretary Suella Braverman a few hours later. The Conservative MP had just started talking when a man stood up in the middle room in the conference room and identified himself as an XR member.
