早年生平

幼年與教育

芮斯-莫格在1969年5月24日生於英格蘭漢墨斯密,父親是泰晤士報前編輯威廉·里斯-莫格英語William Rees-Mogg(其後於1988年被封爵),母親是聖潘克拉斯自治市市長英語List of mayors of St Pancras、保守黨政治人物托馬斯·理查·摩瑞斯(Thomas Richard Morris)之女吉莉安·莎士比亞·摩瑞斯(Gillian Shakespeare Morris)。他有四名兄弟姊妹,三個比她年長,另有一個妹妹,亦即後來的歐洲議會議員安農齊亞塔·里斯-莫格英語Annunziata Rees-Mogg

他的家庭在他出生前5年購買了斯通伊斯頓莊園英語Ston Easton Park,一所位於薩莫塞特郡斯通伊斯頓英語Ston Easton鄉村別墅,是他成長的地方。他持續參加每週的天主教會彌撒英語Mass in the Catholic Church和偶爾在屬羅馬天主教會米德桑麻諾頓聖靈堂英語Church of the Holy Ghost, Midsomer Norton主日學習慣的地方。[2]其後在1975年起,與女家庭教師進行教義問答和開始一般彌撒英語Mass of Paul VI[3]1978年,他舉家遷到鄰近的村莊欣頓布萊維特英語Hinton Blewett,他們購置了「舊教區長府邸」(The Old Rectory),一處以前為教區長住所的二級登錄建築,如今市值2百萬英鎊。[4]他雖然居住在薩莫塞特郡,但經常往返倫敦史密斯廣場的家族住宅 ,因為他要到是獨立學校預備學校英語Preparatory school (United Kingdom)西敏小學英語Westminster Under School上學。[5][6]

成長期間,芮斯-莫格都是被他形容為「影響他成長的人」的褓姆維羅妮卡·克魯克(Veronica Crook)所照顧,現時克魯克已侍奉其家族逾50年,仍然在照料芮斯-莫格自己的兒女。[7][8]

當芮斯-莫格10歲時,一個親戚留下10英鎊給他,其父親替他買了現時已結業的英國奇異公司股份。他往後認為,這是他對股票市場產生興趣的原因,並在明白公司的財務報告後到英國奇異公司的股東會議,對一項議案投下反對票,理由是股東分紅太低。[9]他其後又投資基地位於倫敦的綜合企業Lonrho英語Lonrho」,前後累積持340股,在股東大會提問有關股東紅利的問題,據報令時任公司主席鄧肯-桑茲勳爵有些「不適」。1981年,當時有175股的12歲的芮斯-莫格,在股東會議上告訴時任公司主席納爾遜勳爵英語Henry Nelson, 2nd Baron Nelson of Stafford,現在提議的股東紅利是「令人悲哀」,惹來在場的公司董事和傳媒忍俊不禁。[10]

上完預備學校後,他進入了伊頓公學,在一份功課中他被評價為「相當自以為是的柴契爾主義者」。[11]準備離開伊頓之際,皇家肖像畫師學會英語Royal Society of Portrait Painters會員保羅·布蘭森(Paul Branson)為他作畫給予伊頓公學收藏品系列英語Eton College Collections,其肖像畫於皇家肖像畫師學會畫展《1993年的臉孔》上被展出。[12]

芮斯-莫格在牛津大學三一學院攻讀歷史,於1991年畢業並取得二等上級榮譽英語British undergraduate degree classification[13][14]1988年他剛入學時,牛津學生報《Cherwell》已經給了他「咄咄逼人的新生」的稱謂,刊出一幀圖片說明為「我們還有什麼要說?」、芮斯-莫格身穿西裝的照片。[15]在牛津就讀時,他曾是牛津大學保守黨協會英語Oxford University Conservative Association的主席,《Cherwell》形容為提倡「征服世界和社會適足性的競選活動」。他同時亦是牛津大學辯論社的會員,經常參與辯論,選舉社團幹事時他當選圖書館館員,但達米安·海因斯擊敗他當選主席。[16][17][15]他回憶起大學生活的時候,言道後悔沒研讀古典學[18]

職業生涯

1991年從牛津畢業後,芮斯-莫格到羅斯柴爾德投資銀行英語Rothschild & Co跟從尼爾斯·塔布英語Nils Taube工作,其後於1993年轉到香港於「羅祖儒投資管理有限公司」(Lloyd George Management)供職。[19][20][21]據說留在香港期間,他成為了總督彭定康的好友,並經常到訪總督府。三年後,他返回倫敦,被調派掌管公司的新興市場基金。2003年左右,他開始負責管理「羅祖儒新興市場基金公司」。[22]2007年,芮斯-莫格連同一些同事離開了「羅祖儒公司」,並一同開展了他們的新公司「薩莫塞特資本管理有限公司」,受空頭對衝基金經理克里斯平·奧迪英語Crispin Odey支持。[23]隨著他2010年選舉中勝出,當選為東北索美塞特選區國會議員,他便辭任「薩莫塞特資本管理有限公司」行政總裁一職,但仍繼續以合夥人身份領取公司收入。[19]

投身政治

國會議員候選人

1997年,時為27歲的芮斯-莫格首次參與政治,在1997年英國大選保守黨參選位於蘇格蘭的傳統工黨席次中伐夫上流社會背景的他在選民主要是工人階級的選區十分不討好,經常被批評過於「高檔」。[24]當時的新聞報導揶揄他乘著賓利,攜同他的保姆在選舉拉票,他後來稱之為誹謗,說那是台梅賽德斯[25][13]芮斯-莫格最後是得票第三高的參選人,但只有9%的得票率,比前數任保守黨參選人低不少,而認得他的名字甚至不足百分之二的人。[26]

1999年,當有傳聞指其「不合時宜地高檔」的口音令他不比選至為保守黨的安全席次參選,不少讀者寫信至《每日電訊報》為芮斯-莫格辯護,有一名更稱「現時有一股公然的恫嚇存在,朝著那些敢於不迎合現時美國化的行為、言談和衣著」。[27]芮斯-莫格本人亦在1999年5月23日的《星期日泰晤士報》說「為口音而大驚小怪真的很可悲」,但他在同一篇報道卻稱「約翰·普雷斯科特的口音毫無疑問會令人建立他是個粗人的成見」[27],不過他之後為這樣的評語表示後悔及道歉。[28]他亦說道:「我漸漸開始發現,不論我想要說什麼,我支持者的數量都會隨著我張開口而下降。」[29]

芮斯-莫格於2001年英國大選再次被選為保守黨國會議員參選人,這次是施洛普郡里金選區,但敗給了當時競逐連任的國會議員[30]2005年至2008年,他被推選為倫敦及西敏市保守黨協會英語Conservative Association的主席。[31]

2007年的芮斯-莫格。

2005年英國大選,芮斯-莫格未有被選為保守黨參選人。2006年,他批評時任保守黨黨魁大衛·卡麥隆在黨的選舉參選人上增加少數民族的代表性,因為此舉會令名額上「對智力上有能力的人有所限制」和「這個國家百分之九十五的都是白人,參選名單與全國普遍的種族代表性不能相差太遠」。[32]

國會議員(2010年起)

2010年英國大選的競選期間,芮斯-莫格被《星期日泰晤士報》編輯卡蜜拉·朗英語Camilla Long在候選人的人物簡介上評為「大衛·卡麥隆最糟的噩夢」。[33]那場選舉中,他成為了保守黨在新選區東北索美塞特國會議員參選人,並最後成功當選,領先第二名4,914票。[34]他的妹妹新聞記者安農齊亞塔·里斯-莫格英語Annunziata Rees-Mogg同時在鄰近的薩默頓和弗羅姆選區參選,但以1,817票之差未能勝出。[13][35]衛報》撰稿人伊恩·傑克英語Ian Jack說挑選兩個富裕階層的人參選破壞了保守黨建立包容社會的訊息,這樣的參選人應被排除在外。[29]

卡麥隆政府(2010-16年)

2010年,保守黨之家英語ConservativeHome網誌列芮斯-莫格其中一個最桀驁不馴的國會議員。[38]他曾違反黨鞭,對英國定期國會法案、2011年10月歐盟公投議案以及2012年上議院改革法案英語House of Lords Reform Bill 2012投下反對票。[39]

下議院內,芮斯-莫格因其幽默的演說和「拉布」的能力而為人所知曉。[40][41][42]他在2010-12年日光節約法案英語Daylight Saving Bill 2010和2010-12年可持續家禽法案上「拉布」,成功阻止兩項法案在國會通過。他在可持續家禽法案的發言中,背誦了詩詞、談及了薩莫塞特郡所出產的蛋有多優秀、講述在虛構故事中連續於施洛普郡秀英語Shropshire County Show贏了三次的布蘭德女王英語Empress of Blandings、又提述到污水處理系統還有阿金庫爾戰役[42][43][44][45]他亦同時對日光節約法案提出修正案,試圖讓薩莫塞特郡有獨自比倫敦慢15分鐘的時區[46]

在2011年12月有關《倫敦地方政府法案》的一項辯論中,有權即場罰款的地區政府官員應該要戴上圓頂硬禮帽[47]2012年2月的一場國會辯論上,他使用了「floccinaucinihilipilification」一詞,打破了下議院發言中最長單字的紀錄。[48]

芮斯-莫格,攝於2013年。

2013年5月,他在傳統英國英語Traditional Britain Group的年度晚宴上致辭,那是一個呼籲把所有非白人的英國市民驅逐出境的極右翼團體。反法西斯主義團體《探照燈英語Searchlight (magazine)》在他到席前已經通知他該團體的性質,但他仍然決定出席,在晚宴完結後他表示雖然他知道該團體的立場,但他「從來不是他們的成員或支持者」。[49][50][51][52]

2014年1月,芮斯-莫格形容25萬英鎊用作國會議員的肖像照為瑣碎的,稱:「我完全贊成節省金錢,任何時候也處處節省,但這不過是九牛一毛」。[53]同年12月,他被舉報至獨立國會標準局英語Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority,因為他就有關菸草、採礦、石油及天然氣的發言時,沒有預先口頭申報利益,表明他是「薩莫塞特資本管理有限公司」的合夥創辦人兼董事,該公司管理在這些行業數以百萬英鎊計的投資。[54]時任國會標準事務專員英語Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards則裁定沒有違規,故而不用開展調查程序。[55]根據《每日電訊報》,芮斯-莫格在2014年國會外的工作時數共有476小時,或每週9小時。[56]

梅伊政府(2016-19年)

2016年,芮斯-莫格在一個索尼島學會英語Thorney Island (Westminster)的晚宴致辭

保守黨黨魁脫歐公投結果辭任保守黨黨魁後,觸發黨魁選舉。芮斯-莫格打算支持原計劃參選的鮑里斯·強森,但其黨魁競選經理麥可·戈夫在他計劃宣布參選的早上突然宣布自己參選,強森因而決定不再角逐黨魁。芮斯-莫格轉為支持安德烈·李德森,但她其後退選,令德蕾莎·梅伊自動當選黨魁、及後成為首相。[57][58]

Initially a supporter of Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election,[59] he distanced himself from the then-Republican Party nominee after the Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape surfaced in October 2016.[60] He distanced himself from Trump's controversies on Twitter, saying the medium is "fundamentally trivial".[61] In November 2017, Rees-Mogg met Trump's former White House Chief Strategist and Breitbart News' executive chairman Steve Bannon to discuss how right-wing movements can succeed in the United Kingdom and the United States.[62] Rees-Mogg later defended the meeting when asked about it in an interview, stating, "I've talked to any number of people whose political views I do not share or fully endorse ... Inevitably politicians meet other politicians. Mr Bannon was the chief of staff to President Trump and is a senior figure in the Republican Party."[63]

芮斯-莫格,攝於2017年。

2017年,他表示贊成保守黨與民主統一黨信任供給協議英語Conservative-DUP agreement[64]他更出席了一個民主統一黨的籌款活動,惹來北愛爾蘭保守黨英語Northern Ireland Conservatives的不滿和批評。[65][66]

芮斯-莫格年時被廣泛認為是角逐黨魁的潛在參選人,而他自己也在2017曾考慮過。[67][68][69][70]然而於2017年8月13日,他說「這樣的臆測僅是傳媒的愚蠢季節」。[71] 兩名保守黨國會議員海蒂·艾琳英語Heidi Allen安娜·蘇布里聲稱,如果芮斯-莫格成為黨魁,她們將脫離保守黨,前內閣大臣賈斯汀·葛林寧亦說可能會跟隨。[72][73][74]不過,有其他保守黨籍的國會議員,如傑西·諾曼還有丹尼爾·考辛斯基,表明如果芮斯-莫格競逐黨魁,他們將會支持。[75][76]英國獨立黨黨魁和後來的英國脫歐黨黨魁奈傑爾·法拉奇都公開支持芮斯-莫格參選。[77]

Following the 2017 general election, calls were made for Theresa May to step down as Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party after failing to win an overall majority in the House of Commons.[78] This led news outlets to begin speculating on May's possible successor with Boris Johnson touted as the bookmakers' favourite and Rees-Mogg being given 50/1 odds.[68] A day after the election on 9 June, an online petition, titled Ready for Rees-Mogg, was set up urging Rees-Mogg to run for leader of the Conservative Party. Hoping to mirror the success of pro-Corbyn activist group Momentum, a 'play on words' hashtag of Moggmentum was created.[79][80] By 8 July 2017, the campaign had attracted over 13,000 signatures and raised £2,000 in donations with leadership odds being cut to 16/1, making him second favourite behind David Davis.[81] On 14 August, co-founder of Ready for Rees-Mogg Sam Frost announced the petition had gathered 22,000 registered supporters, 700 volunteers and £7,000 in donations, despite Rees-Mogg having said a day earlier that such speculation was "part of media's silly season" and that "no-body serious" believed he was a candidate.[82][83][84] On 5 September 2017, a poll conducted by ConservativeHome put Rees-Mogg as the favourite for next leader, with 23% of the votes based on 1,309 people surveyed.[85]

2018年1月,他當選為保守黨內的疑歐派議會黨團歐洲研究小組英語European Research Group主席。[86]一份《獨立報》的報道指出,這個身份令他能隨時有約50名保守黨國會議員的支持,足夠續發一場黨魁選舉。[87]自當選,芮斯-莫格直接抨擊德蕾莎·梅伊和財相菲利普·韓蒙德的領導,引起傳言說他正密謀策劃競逐黨魁一職,但他一直重申沒這樣的打算。[88]同年2月,他一場在西英格蘭大學的演說被打斷,因為有左翼示威者指罵他是一個種族主義者和偏執狂,最後該批示威者與芮斯-莫格的支持者爆發暴力衝突。[89] 芮斯-莫格贊成他喜歡叫作「徹底脫歐」(clean Brexit)的「硬脫歐」,他一直高調批評政府處理英國脫歐談判的手法,特別是他稱爲「沒有成員國投票權地留在歐盟」、德蕾莎·梅伊所主導的「契克斯計劃」:

首相(德蕾莎·梅伊)需要好好聽自己說過什麼、作過什麼許諾、還有上屆大選對選民的保證,再看看它們是否與契克斯計劃一致,我個人認為並不符合。如果她繼續堅持契克斯計劃,她會發現她在下議院中面臨一批反對票……當然,疑歐派在國會並不能在所有議題上構成大多數,但就契克斯計劃來說,我們無可避免地總會能在某些議題可以,而這樣會令政府的立法非常困難。[90]

作為讓步,他亦會贊成「加拿大+」的協議,這方案可以讓英國與歐盟之間的貿易免關稅,但英國不需要留在歐盟的共同市場或關稅同盟內。[90]

In 2018, as part of a Sunday Times investigation into online abuse following controversial comments made by Boris Johnson regarding the niqab and media attention regarding alleged Islamophobia in the Conservative Party, it was reported that a number of Facebook groups supportive of Rees-Mogg and Johnson (some of which included Conservative councillors and officials) were leaving "widespread" Islamophobic and racist comments on Johnson's Facebook page. In response, Rees-Mogg said he was supporting a private member's bill put forward by Labour MP Lucy Powell to regulate social media, and added "people who have these types of views should take no solace in using [Johnson's] comments as an excuse to take this approach".[91] Rees-Mogg defended Johnson against accusations of Islamophobia and criticised the party for initiating disciplinary action against Johnson – in order, Rees-Mogg said, to weaken Johnson politically – calling it a "low-grade abuse of power"[90] as well as a "show trial" and a "witch hunt".[92]

On 15 November 2018, Rees-Mogg implied that he might submit a letter of no confidence in the Prime Minister over her draft Brexit proposal.[93] Later that day, he submitted such a letter to Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservative MPs and told reporters "What Theresa May says and does no longer match" but added "... this is nothing to do with personal ambition".[94][95] Following May's announcement that she would call off the House of Commons vote on her Brexit deal due to widespread dislike of the deal, Rees-Mogg made a statement saying: "What has two years of Theresa May doing Brexit amounted to? An undeliverable deal Parliament would roundly reject, if the prime minister has the gumption to allow it to go before the House of Commons. This is not governing, it risks putting Jeremy Corbyn into government by failing to deliver Brexit. We cannot continue like this. The prime minister must either govern or quit."[96][97] In November 2018, Rees-Mogg suggested the party elect Boris Johnson as its new leader.[98]

Rees-Mogg was described as the leading figure within the unsuccessful effort for a vote of no confidence in Theresa May as party leader by the parliamentary Conservative Party on 12 December.[99] Despite losing the vote, Rees-Mogg continued his calls for May to resign as leader the following day, stating that the Prime Minister had "clearly lost the support of the back benches of the Conservative Party".[100] Rees-Mogg received criticism for his role in this effort from junior minister Tobias Ellwood, who called his actions "destructive", "divisive" and "selfish".[101] On 18 December, Rees-Mogg said: "Under Tory party rules the prime minister won, that is a mandate for the next year. I therefore fully support her, I lost the vote last week."[102] He later voted against the Labour Party's motion of no confidence on 16 January 2019, having stated earlier that day on Politics Live that he would support the Prime Minister.[103][104]

Rees-Mogg said on 22 February 2019 that he opposed Home Secretary Sajid Javid's decision to revoke the UK citizenship of Shamima Begum, one of the Bethnal Green trio, as she was eligible for Bangladeshi citizenship. On his Friday night show on LBC, he stated that he thought that "there is a fundamental equality in British citizens and if you can't take [his] passport away, then you shouldn't be able to take it away from anybody else" and argued that "Why on earth should Bangladeshis pick up a problem that's essentially our problem. We're trying to put our litter in our neighbour’s garden."[105]

強森政府(2016-19年)

芮斯-莫格在等候2019年大選東北索美塞特選區結果。

芮斯-莫格在德蕾莎·梅伊決定辭任保守黨黨魁後,支持鮑里斯·強森接任。2019年7月23日強森勝選,次日正式被任命為首相,隨即委任芮斯-莫格為下議院領袖樞密院議長並列席內閣,接替梅爾·斯特里德[106][107]這僅是芮斯-莫格的首個內閣,以至是政府職位。

2019年9月,芮斯-莫格為曾將牽涉在政府《黃鵐行動報告英語Operation Yellowhammer》內的神經內科醫生大衛·尼古爾英語David Nicholl (neurologist),與名譽掃地的疫苗接種反對者安德魯·韋克菲爾德英語Andrew Wakefield相提並論致歉。[108]芮斯-莫格支持未來研發疫苗對抗新型冠狀病毒 ,並稱反疫苗的人為「怪人」。[109]

2019年英國大選競選期間,芮斯-莫格於尼克·法拉利英語Nick Ferrari主持的倫敦廣播公司英語LBC訪談節目說格倫費爾塔火災的住客應該要有「常識」,不應理會消防人員英語London Fire Brigade留在原地的指示而馬上逃離現場,因而飽受抨擊。數小時後,他表明他為此等言論感到「極度抱歉」[110]在餘下的競選活動他很少公開露面,令傳媒懷疑他是否被唐寧街首相府勒令因該破壞保守黨形象的訪談而保持低調。[111]鮑里斯·強森於後期曾接受尼克·法拉利訪問,被問到「Moggy在哪?[...]我到處也見不到他。」強森回應指芮斯-莫格正積極地參與全國各地的競選活動。[112]

政治取態

芮斯-莫格於2012年在劍橋大學辯論社英語The Cambridge Union辯論。

芮斯-莫格的政治觀點被形容為至高托利派英語High Tory[113]反動主義[114]傳統保守主義[115][116]民族主義英語British nationalism[117]社會保守主義[118],以及右翼民粹主義[119],不過他不承認最後一項,強調他主張「受歡迎的政策,但不是民粹主義的政策」。[120]

芮斯-莫格也是一個忠實的君主主義者[121],亦是基石派英語Cornerstone Group的成員。[122]

反對成為歐盟成員國

Rees-Mogg's public statements on the European Union and referendum on membership have changed over time. In 2011, referring to the then proposed European Union membership referendum Rees-Mogg suggested a process with two referendums, saying: "Indeed, we could have two referendums. As it happens, it might make more sense to have the second referendum after the renegotiation is completed."[123][124] In his May 2012 lecture to the Centre for Policy Studies, in which he laid out his broad policy position on a range of issues, Rees-Mogg referred to the European Union saying: "I am not an advocate of withdrawal from it but instead I want a fundamental renegotiation of terms".[125][126]

Writing in The Daily Telegraph in May 2013, the Eurosceptic Rees-Mogg asked whether it was time to make a "big open and comprehensive offer" to the UK Independence Party (UKIP). He said collaboration would be straightforward as policies were similar on "many issues" and most Conservatives would prefer Nigel Farage to Nick Clegg as Deputy Prime Minister.[127] His remarks angered his party leadership, while UKIP said it was against any formal arrangements.[128] In January 2019, shortly after Farage left UKIP, Rees-Mogg expressed support for Farage potentially returning to the Conservative Party, stating, "personally I hold Nigel in the highest regard and think he was one of these people who was instrumental in delivering Brexit."[129]

芮斯-莫格作為時常直言不諱的歐洲聯盟反對者[130],他是脫歐公投中脫歐運動的領軍人物,曾出席於不少訪問在這議題上辯論。有一次在牛津大學辯論社發言時,他形容歐盟為對英國民主以及國會主權的威脅,並以幾個國家反對歐盟憲法但最後卻透過里斯本條約實施為例。[131][132]他還讚揚民主統一黨摧毀了當時政府和歐盟的協定,「拯救了」英國脫歐。[133]另外,他曾經在一次與德國另類選擇黨的代表會面後,批評該黨不夠疑歐,說「德國的疑歐派和英國的疑歐派相比,就像牛奶和白蘭地酒」。[134][135] In April 2019 Rees-Mogg was criticised online after he tweeted a video of a speech made by Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Then Labour MP for Tottenham Labour MP David Lammy said Mr Rees-Mogg was "promoting Germany's overtly racist party, AfD". Speaking later, Rees-Mogg said "I'm not supporting the AfD. But this is a speech in the Bundestag of real importance because it shows a German view of Brexit."[136] He replied to Lammy in a statement on LBC radio saying "Once again, Mr Lammy's reputation for under-statement is reinforced"[137]

UCL's modern Jewish history professor Michael Berkowitz accused Rees-Mogg of trafficking in antisemitic tropes when Rees-Mogg castigated his opponents in a Commons debate on 'no-deal' Brexit (specifically Oliver Letwin and John Bercow – both of whom are Jewish) as forming part of an "illuminati who are taking the powers to themselves".[138] In October 2019, Rees-Mogg faced similar criticism from Labour MPs when he suggested that George Soros was allegedly the "funder-in-chief" of the Remain campaign.[139]

教育

芮斯-莫格與保守黨在教育上180度改變相反,他支持資助學校英語Academy (English school)形式的教育,因為這樣可以給予學校更大決策自由度,不用再受制於地區教育部門和減低官僚主義。[140]在2005年為一些保守黨候選人站台時,他說取消就讀牛津大學或劍橋大學的候選人資格是不智的決定,還說國家由「盆栽植物」治理不會是最好。這被視為對沒上「牛劍」或公學的人的攻擊,不少英國傳媒指責他精英主義和勢利。[141][142][143]

In February 2018, police launched an investigation after Rees-Mogg was caught in the middle of an altercation at a university campus when left wing protesters disrupted a student event in Bristol.[144] The non-platforming and interference received cross party condemnation with Jo Swinson, then Leader of the Liberal Democrats, tweeting that she was "deeply worried by the violence" and Labour MP Angela Rayner also tweeted saying that she "utterly condemned the behaviour" of those who tried to attack Rees-Mogg and that she found the tactics "intimidating".[145]

環境及氣候變化

芮斯-莫格曾在一些公共檔案[125][146]、文章[147][148]、訪問中[121][149],發表他對環境及氣候變化上與經濟方面掛鉤的觀點,認為保護環境的目標應該建基在經濟目的之上,而不是一種所謂「綠色的正統觀念」。[125]

他覺得價格低廉的能源在新興市場與競爭時尤其重要,並提倡繼續使用化石燃料。[147]

In 2012, Rees-Mogg questioned climate science, saying that climate models are not accurate and predictions cannot be proved by controlled experiment, adding that the effect of carbon dioxide emissions "remains much debated".[146] He also suggested that it is not possible to change people's behaviour to mitigate climate change and that it is better to just adapt to it.[121] He described the views of the climate sceptic Global Warming Policy Foundation as "attractive" in 2012.[146]

Rees-Mogg has been hostile to renewable energy and was one of 100 MPs who wrote to David Cameron successfully pressurising the government to withdraw subsidies and change planning rules for onshore wind.[148]

With regard to environmental regulations, Rees-Mogg has expressed opposition to regulations stating that: "We could say, if it's good enough in India, it's good enough for here. There's nothing to stop that. We could take it a very long way ... I accept that we're not going to allow dangerous toys to come in from China, we don't want to see those kind of risks. But there's a very long way you can go."[150]

經濟及勞工政策

雖然芮斯-莫格主要贊成自由市場的經濟觀點,但是他因為受經濟自由主義者羅伯特·皮爾貿易保護主義者班傑明·迪斯雷利的影響,亦同時認可一定程度的政府干預,相信改善人民的生活需要「政府使用一些既有的權力」。[151]

In 2013, Rees-Mogg expressed support for zero-hour contracts, arguing that they benefit employees, including students, by providing flexibility and could provide a route into more permanent employment.[152] He rejected criticism by Vince Cable and others that they were exploitative as "the standard response of the left".[152] In September 2017, Rees-Mogg suggested that food banks fulfil a vital function, and proceeded to argue that "to have charitable support given by people voluntarily to support their fellow citizens I think is rather uplifting and shows what a good, compassionate country we are". He went on to argue that "the real reason for the rise in numbers is that people know that they are there and Labour deliberately didn't tell them." During the same interview, Rees-Mogg conceded that people have "found life tough" but suggested the best way out of poverty was through employment.[153][82]

外交關係

芮斯-莫格對英國捲入敘利亞內戰的看法混雜[154],曾譴責武裝敘利亞叛軍,但其後在2013年亦曾投票支持針對巴沙爾·阿薩德政權的英軍軍事行動[155]。2015年10月,他形容「削弱阿薩德的後果就是恐怖主義抬頭和大規模的人口流動」。[156]

他同時亦分別在2014年和2015年就對伊斯蘭國及敘利亞的軍事行動投贊成票[157][158]

他形容對國外的援助是一種"非常浪費政府支出的方式"[159],並支持《每日快報》減低英國國外援助預算的行動[160]

移民

芮斯-莫格曾投票支持一個更嚴厲的庇護系統和多加入境檢查的移民政策,以減低淨移民的數量。[161]奈傑爾·法拉奇所述,芮斯-莫格相信脫歐派「贏得公投」的關鍵是,一幅印有「失控點」連同一列列敘利亞難民進入歐洲的海報。[162]芮斯-莫格贊同停止人口自由流動英語Freedom of movement for workers in the European Union前往英國,但他希望非英國公民而居住在英國的歐盟公民得以「大致上享有與英國公民同等的權利,不較為好亦不較為差」,他們的權利亦不應有追溯性地被撤銷。[163]

2018年5月,他批評德蕾莎·梅伊目標減少移民至每年10萬個為太低,形容這目標數字只是「隨口說出」,英國脫歐不應是如此「升起吊橋」而是能對移民有更多的控制,他亦提議學生簽證可不被計算在官方移民數字中。[164]

社會議題

同性婚姻,芮斯-莫格曾表示反對,也並不為其合法化而感到自豪,而且認為這會疏遠保守黨的傳統支持者。[165][166][167]2013年,他說在同性婚姻的議題上,他「所遵循的黨鞭指令是來自羅馬天主教會,而不是[保守黨]黨鞭辦公室」。[168]他其後解釋,他認為「婚姻是聖禮的一種,而聖禮該怎樣執行應該是教會的決定,不是國會」。[169]

Rees-Mogg is against abortion in all circumstances, stating: "life begins at the point of conception. With same-sex marriage, that is something that people are doing for themselves. With abortion, that is what people are doing to the unborn child."[170] In September 2017, he expressed "a great sadness" on hearing about how online retailers had reduced pricing of emergency contraception.[171][失效連結] Despite his stance, Rees-Mogg has said that he does not believe Britain's laws on same-sex marriage or abortion will change.[169][172]

In October 2017, it was reported that Somerset Capital Management, of which Rees-Mogg was a partner, had invested £5m in Kalbe Farma, a company that produces and markets misoprostol pills designed to treat stomach ulcers but widely used in illegal abortions in Indonesia. Rees-Mogg defended the investment by arguing that the company in question "obeys Indonesian law so it's a legitimate investment and there's no hypocrisy. The law in Indonesia would satisfy the Vatican".[173] Several days later, it was reported that the same company also held shares in FDC, a company that sold drugs used as part of legal abortions in India. Somerset Capital Management subsequently sold the shares it had held in FDC. Rees-Mogg said: "I am glad to say it's a stock that we no longer hold. I would not try to defend investing in companies that did things I believe are morally wrong".[174]

Rees-Mogg is opposed to capital punishment, and favours due process for British jihadists operating abroad.[175]

個人生活

芮斯-莫格是聖潘克拉斯自治市前市長英語List of mayors of St Pancras托馬斯·理查·摩瑞斯(Thomas Richard Morris)的外孫,和英國奧運跨欄代表選手勞倫斯·克拉克爵士英語Sir Lawrence Clarke, 7th Baronet的姨夫。[176]

2006年,芮斯-莫格與貿易雜誌專欄作家海倫娜·安妮·比阿特麗克斯·溫特沃斯·菲茨威廉·德切爾(Helena Anne Beatrix Wentworth Fitzwilliam de Chair)訂婚,她是索美塞特·德切爾英語Somerset de Chair和其第四任妻子朱麗葉·塔德格爾女勳爵英語Lady Juliet Tadgell的獨生女,二人兒時已相識。芮斯-莫格得到德切爾母親的祝福才開始約會,交往了一年便已訂婚。[177]二人於2007年在坎特柏立座堂結成夫婦,他們的後梵二彌撒英語Mass of Paul VI儀式是以拉丁文舉行。[178]

2006年,芮斯-莫格跟其妻子購買了古爾奈庭院英語Gournay Court,是一幢座落於西哈普特里英語West Harptree二級登錄建築,亦是芮斯-莫格的大姨母以志願護士、護士長身份在第一次世界大戰服務的前紅十字醫院,二人在這裡養育六名子女。[179][180][181][182]

自2010年起芮斯-莫格居住的古爾奈庭院英語Gournay Court

2017年7月,芮斯-莫格曾說:「我完全不會假裝我是一個現代男性,從來都不會」,並同時說自己沒有換過尿布,稱:「我不覺得保姆認可,因為我肯定她會認為我不能妥當地做好。」[8]維羅妮卡·克魯克(Veronica Crook)自1965年服務芮斯-莫格的家族,從他4歲起便是他的保姆,現在亦是他六名孩子的保姆。[183]2017年7月,工黨國會議員哈莉特·哈曼認為「不換尿布的男性都是遊手好閒的爸爸,包括雅各·芮斯-莫格」。[184]

作為國會跨黨派歷史車輛小組英語All-party parliamentary group成員,芮斯-莫格對歷史車輛頗有興趣。23歲的時候,他買了一輛板球運動員古比·艾倫英語Gubby Allen先前擁有過的賓利T系列Bentley T-series英語1968年的賓利T系列。2005年,他添了一輛1936的賓利3.5升英語Bentley 3.5 Litre還有一輛作日常代步的凌志進他的收藏系列。[185]芮斯-莫格還是一個板球愛好者,青年時期開始已經是薩莫塞特郡板球俱樂部英語Somerset County Cricket Club的支持者。[186]

2018年5月,他購買了在西敏寺後方、位於考利街、價值5百萬英鎊的物業。[187]
